The taxed costs of the petition are expenses provided for by s37 of the Bankruptcy Ordinance and are payable out of the bankrupt's estate in priority; they are not provable as ordinary pari passu debts under s34(3); refusal to admit them as provable did not unfairly prejudice the petitioning creditor. Accordingly the application to vary the Official Receiver's decision was dismissed.
