Trial of disallowed claims
Sec. 12. The clerk of the court shall spread the report and list
upon the appearance docket of the court. The clerk shall distinguish
between the claims the trustee has determined to allow and the
claims the trustee has refused to allow. In all cases in which the
trustee has refused to allow a claim, and in which a creditor objects
to the allowance of the claim of another creditor, the judge may order
the case to stand for trial at the next term of the court. The trial shall
be governed by the rules regulating the trials of similar actions in the
circuit court. If, after trial of the claim, the court is satisfied that the
claim is valid and just, the court shall order the claim to be allowed
and paid as other similar claims are paid. The court shall also make
an order with respect to costs as the court considers just.
