Any fees or expenses incurred by an interim administrator, or a trustee for civil recovery appointed by the Court of Session, in the exercise of his functions are to be reimbursed by the Scottish Ministers as soon as is practicable after they have been incurred.
The Scottish Ministers may apply a sum received by them under section 280(2) in making payment of such fees or expenses.
Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to the fees of a trustee for civil recovery if the trustee is a member of their staff.
