If the Trustee, at any time, improperly neglects, refuses or delays to assume the management of any estate or trust under this Act, improperly acts or omits to act in the management of any estate or trust vested in or administered by the Trustee or the duties of which the Trustee has entered upon, improperly neglects, refuses or delays to pay forthwith the amount of any judgment, decree or order recovered against the Trustee, pays the amount of any such judgment, decree or order out of any funds not properly liable to such payment or improperly acts or omits to act in any other matter with respect to any estate or trust vested in or administered by the Trustee or with respect to any duty imposed upon the Trustee by this Act, or if there is reasonable ground to think that the Trustee is about improperly to act, or to omit to act, with respect to any of the matters aforesaid, any person interested in such estate, trust or matter may apply to the Court for an order requiring the Trustee to do, or to refrain from doing, the act in respect of which such person complains, and the Court may thereupon make such order as it thinks fit.
Such order may direct that the Trustee shall pay out of the Trustee’s own pocket any sum of money required to compensate any person, estate or trust, for the consequences of any wrongful act or omission of the Trustee or receiver.
