##### 120 Provision where fund insufficient to meet claims or where claims exceed total amount payable (1) Where the amount in a fidelity fund of a securities exchange is insufficient to pay the whole of the amount of all claims against it that have been allowed or in respect of which orders of the Court have been made, the amount in the fund shall, subject to subsection (2), be apportioned among the claimants in such manner as the committee thinks equitable, and such a claim so far as it then remains unpaid shall be deemed to be charged against future receipts of the fund and paid out of the fund when moneys are available in the fund. (2) Where the aggregate of all claims that have been allowed or in respect of which orders of the Court have been made in relation to defalcations or fraudulent misuses of property by or in connection with a sole trader or partner in a member firm recognized by a securities exchange exceeds the total amount that may, pursuant to section 111, be paid under this Part in respect of that sole trader or member firm, the total amount shall be apportioned among the claimants in such manner as the committee thinks equitable, and on payment out of the fund of that total amount in accordance with that apportionment all such claims and any orders relating to those claims and all other claims against the fund that may thereafter arise or be made in respect of defalcations or fraudulent misuses of property by or in connection with that sole trader or member firm are discharged.
