97 Claim barred against executor or administrator in certain cases (1) When an executor or administrator has given the notices mentioned in section 96, and a claim against the estate is sent in to him or her, the administrator or executor may, if he or she disputes the claim, serve upon the person, by whom or on whose behalf the claim was sent in, a notice calling upon that person to take proceedings to enforce his or her claim within a period of 6 months, and to duly prosecute the claim. (2) If, after that period of 6 months has expired, that person does not satisfy the Court that he or she is duly prosecuting his or her claim, the Court may, on application by the executor or administrator, make an order barring the claim against the executor or administrator, subject to such conditions as appear just, or make such other order as the Court thinks fit.
