35. The maximum indemnity payable from the fund for all claims against a bailiff shall be fixed at $25,000 for the whole of a fiscal year of the Chamber.
Where the executive committee has reason to believe that the total of the claims filed against one bailiff could exceed that amount, the committee shall, if circumstances permit, have an inventory drawn up of the sums of money entrusted to the bailiff and notify in writing all possible claimants.
Where the total of the claims allowed by the board of directors exceeds the maximum indemnity provided for in this section, the indemnity shall be allocated on a prorata basis according to the amount of the claims.
