Continuation of proceedings permits legal representatives or insolvency officers to pursue or continue appeals after death or insolvency. Where a person whose property has been attached or who has initiated an appeal dies or is adjudicated insolvent before or during proceedings, the legal representatives, the official assignee, or the official receiver may prefer or continue the appeal in place of that person, and the procedural provisions governing appeals shall apply to such substituted proceedings. The powers of the official assignee or official receiver when exercising these functions are subject to the applicable Presidency-towns or Provincial Insolvency Acts.
