"Halifax plc are the first charge holder. The charge has now been redeemed the proceeds have indeed been paid into court under the terms of the enclosed court order. It is a matter between yourselves and Halifax as how those funds are distributed. I will now close our file."
Barclays is saying, therefore, that, as far as it is concerned, the dispute between the Rowleys and the Halifax is now transferred to a dispute about the money in court; and that the bank regards itself as having accounted by paying into court the proceeds of sale of 24 Eggington Road.
"I will ... consider their application dated 22nd February, testing it to see whether it has any prospect of success."
ORDER: Application dismissed. No order as to costs.
