Section 152: Order on contributory to be conclusive evidence.

Insolvency Act 1986 · 1986 c. 45View on legislation.gov.uk

Part IV: Winding Up of Companies Registered under the Companies Acts — Chapter VI: Winding Up by the Court

An order made by the court on a contributory is conclusive evidence that the money (if any) thereby appearing to be due or ordered to be paid is due, but subject to any right of appeal.

All other pertinent matters stated in the order are to be taken as truly stated as against all persons and in all proceedings except proceedings in Scotland against the heritable estate of a deceased contributory; and in that case the order is only prima facie evidence for the purpose of charging his heritable estate, unless his heirs or legatees of heritage were on the list of contributories at the time of the order being made.
