324. Distribution by means of dividend

(2) The trustee shall give notice of his intention to declare and distribute a dividend.
(3) Where the trustee has declared a dividend, he shall give notice of the dividend and of how it is proposed to distribute it; and a notice given under this subsection shall contain the prescribed particulars of the bankrupt's estate.
(4) In the calculation and distribution of a dividend the trustee shall make provision -
(a) for any bankruptcy debts which appear to him to be due to persons who, by reason of the distance of their place of residence, may not have had sufficient time to tender and establish their proofs,

determined, and
(c) for disputed proofs and claims.
