"Mr and Mrs Browne, as I understand it, were not satisfied with those orders because they submitted an appeal to the High Court as they were entitled to do under Section 375 of the Insolvency Act. That application or the appeal came before Mr Peter Leaver QC, sitting as a Deputy Judge of the High Court, exactly the same status as myself, on Tuesday 9th March 1999. The order, which is in the files before me, was that the order of His Honour Judge Farnworth be affirmed. So the position at that stage had been reached that there was a decision as to the interests in the property made by His Honour Judge Farnworth, originally made on 12th May 1998, subsequently varied on 6th January 1999, was affirmed by Mr Peter Leaver QC, sitting as a High Court Judge on 9th March 1999."
