(1)If a trustee has failed to comply with any order of the Court made under section one hundred and sixteen bis, the Court may direct that any sum of money which that trustee was ordered to pay be recovered by attachment and sale of the goods of the trustee and may further commit him to prison for contempt of the Court.

 

(2)If the court has ordered a trustee to pay out of his own means the costs of any proceedings instituted under any provision of this Act, and the person in whose favour the order was made is unable to recover those costs from the trustee, those costs shall be paid as part of the costs of the sequestration out of any assets of the estate in question, which have not yet been distributed among the creditors.
