Plain-English Summary
This rule gives the court flexibility around the deadlines set out in Sections 21-7 and 21-8. On a showing of good cause, the court may extend the time within which a creditor may present a claim to the receiver in the first place. It may also extend the time for a claimant whose claim was disallowed, in whole or in part, to file an application asking the court to allow it.

The court may extend that deadline too, for good cause shown, letting you still file an application for allowance of the claim.
What counts as good cause under Section 21-9?
