Section 97

Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Court shall have full power to decide all questions of priorities and all other questions whatsoever, whether of law or fact, which may arise in any case of bankruptcy coming within the cognisance of the Court or which the Court may deem it expedient or necessary to decide for the purpose of doing complete justice or making a complete distribution of property in any such case.

If in any proceeding in bankruptcy there arises any question of fact which either of the parties desires to be tried before the Court sitting with assessors instead of by the Court itself or which the Court thinks ought to be tried by the Court sitting with assessors, the Court may if it thinks fit direct the trial to be had with assessors and the trial may be had accordingly.
