RULE 118. PERSONS WHO MAY BE EXAMINED; BURDEN OF PROOF ON EXCEPTIONS TO CLAIM

The Master shall be at liberty to examine any party, or any creditor, or other person making claims before the Master, either upon written interrogatories, or orally, or in both modes, as the nature of the case may appear to the Master to require, and for this purpose may by subpoena compel the attendance before the Master of such party, creditor or other person.

When exceptions are taken to claims filed by claimants to a fund, the burden of proof shall be on the claimant to establish the claim as filed, and the claimant will not be permitted to prove any items not embraced within such filed claim, except by order of the Master for good cause shown.
