Full Text of Section 21-8
(b) The court shall thereupon by its order allow or disallow, in whole or in part, the claims so returned and any preferences claimed and order the receiver forthwith to give written notice to each claimant whose claim has been disallowed in whole or in part that unless the claimant shall within two weeks from the giving of such notice by the receiver bring an application to the court for the allowance of the claim, the same shall be barred; and any such application shall be speedily heard and the decision thereon shall, subject to appeal, be final. Any creditor may intervene in the proceeding.

Plain-English Summary
This rule sets the receiver’s next two steps once the claims deadline from Section 21-7 has run. Within two weeks after the order of notice, the receiver must report back to the court that notice went out as ordered. Within another two weeks after the claims deadline itself expires, the receiver must file a list of every claim that came in, marking separately any claim in which the claimant asserts a preference, and ask the court to rule on the list.
The court then allows or disallows each claim, in whole or in part, along with any preference claimed. If a claim is disallowed in whole or in part, the receiver must notify that claimant in writing. The claimant then has two weeks from that notice to file an application asking the court to allow the claim — if the claimant misses that window, the claim is barred. Any application that is filed gets a prompt hearing, and the court’s decision is final, subject to appeal. Other creditors may intervene in that proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What deadlines does the receiver have to meet under Section 21-8?
The receiver must report compliance with the notice order within two weeks of that order, and within two weeks after the claims-filing deadline expires must file a list of all claims presented, noting any preferences claimed.
What happens if my claim against the receivership is disallowed?
The receiver must give you written notice of the disallowance, and you then have two weeks from that notice to file an application asking the court to allow the claim, or it will be barred.
Can other creditors get involved in a hearing on a disputed claim?
Yes. The rule allows any creditor to intervene in the proceeding on an application for allowance of a claim.
Is the court's decision on a disputed claim final?
Yes, subject to appeal — the decision on an application for allowance of a disallowed claim is final once the court rules, though it may still be appealed.
