Proof required in dissolution proceedings

In all actions in which the accounts of a receiver appointed in an action for the dissolution of a corporation are presented for settlement or to be passed upon by the court, a notice or a copy of an advertisement requiring the creditors to present their claims to a referee must be mailed, with the postage thereon prepaid, to each creditor whose name appears on the books of the corporation, at least 20 days before the date specified in such notice or advertisement. Proof of such mailing shall be required on the application for a final decree passing the accounts of the receiver unless proof is furnished that personal service of such notice or copy of advertisement has been made upon the creditors.
