(2)
For the purpose of his duties as interim trustee, the Official
                                Receiver shall have the same powers as if he were a receiver
                                appointed by the court, but shall, as far as practicable, consult
                                the wishes of the creditors with respect to the management of the
                                bankrupt’s property, and may for that purpose, if he thinks it
                                advisable, summon meetings of the persons claiming to be creditors,
                                and shall not, unless the court otherwise orders, incur any expense
                                beyond such as is requisite for the protection of the bankrupt’s
                                property or the disposing of perishable goods.
