44B. Excessive pension contributions by bankrupt.

(1) Where, on application by the Official Assignee or the trustee in bankruptcy, the Court is satisfied that the bankrupt, or a person on his or her behalf, has within the 3 years prior to the adjudication made contributions to a relevant pension arrangement under which the bankrupt is, or may become entitled to, payments and which contributions -

(a) were excessive in view of the bankrupt's financial circumstances when those contributions were made, and

(b) had the effect of -

(i) materially contributing to the bankrupt's inability to pay his or her debts, or

(ii) substantially reducing the sum available for distribution to the creditors,

the Court may make such order in relation to the relevant pension arrangement as it considers appropriate for the purpose of ensuring that the contributions which the Court considers to be excessive or any part of such contributions can be vested in the Official Assignee or the trustee in bankruptcy to be made available for distribution to the credit
