to this Administrative Notice must be attached to the Form 81.

9. Trustees may set up to 10 applications for hearing in each 15 minute time block allotted to them.
However, it will be in the discretion of the presiding Registrar in Bankruptcy whether all applications
that have been set for hearing will be heard.
