Pennsylvania Statutes Title 71 P.S. State Government § 733-1010. Confirmation of account; distribution of dividends

A. If the secretary has approved all depositors' claims as presented by them pursuant to the provisions of this act, or if not presented, as they appear upon the books or other records of the institution, and if no exception has been filed to an account or to any item thereof within thirty days after the filing of such account by the secretary, the court shall confirm the account absolutely. If any funds are available for distribution, the secretary shall then declare and pay out of such funds a partial or a final dividend, according to the priorities established by law.

If the secretary has rejected any such deposit or claim, or if any such exception has been filed, the court shall confirm the account as to all other matters and claims. The secretary may then declare and pay out of the funds available for distribution, if any, a dividend, according to the priorities established by law. The dividend shall be calculated as if all deposits and other claims were valid and approved. The secretary, before paying any such dividend, shall set apart the proportion of such dividend which would be properly apportionable to any claim which has been rejected by the secretary, or to which an exception has been filed, if the amount and the priority claimed were sustained by the court. If any such claim shall be determined by the court to be valid, the secretary shall pay to the corporation or person entitled thereto the dividend which has been set apart in the manner provided by this section. If any such claim shall be determined by the court to be invalid, the dividend which has been set apart in the manner provided by this section shall be distributed in the order of the priorities established by law, to those whose claims have been approved by the court.

B. The confirmation of any account after the adjudication of all claims therein which have been rejected by the secretary, or to which exceptions have been filed, and of all other exceptions to such account, shall be conclusive as to all matters therein. Except as otherwise provided in this act, no claim of any depositor shall be valid if not listed and approved in the first account which has been filed.

The confirmation of the final account and distribution thereunder shall discharge the secretary, the deputy receiver, any other employe, and the legal counsel, as well as the surety for any of them, from all further civil liability for any act done in his official capacity as receiver, deputy receiver, employe, or legal counsel of the institution.

C. If the receiver in all other respects is in a position to close the receivership proceeding, the proposed closing is sufficient grounds for the rejection of any remaining claim based on an unliquidated or undetermined demand. The receiver shall notify the claimant of the intention to close the proceeding. If the demand is not liquidated or determined before the sixty-first day after the date of the notice, the receiver may reject the claim.
