(1) There shall, at the time when the claim form is issued, be filed in court evidence in support of the application for a disqualification order; and copies of the evidence shall be served with the claim form on the defendant.

(2) The evidence shall be by one or more affidavits, except where the claimant is the official receiver, in which case it may be in the form of a written report (with or without affidavits by other persons) which shall be treated as if it had been verified by affidavit by him and shall be prima facie evidence of any matter contained in it.

(3) There shall in the affidavit or affidavits or (as the case may be) the official receiver's report be included a statement of the matters by reference to which the defendant is alleged to be unfit to be concerned in the management of a company.
