Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Court Funds Rules (Northern Ireland) 1979 [S.R. 1979 No. 105] so as to—

  • amend a number of references in respect of the Common Investment Scheme;

  • remove a reference to the Bank of Ireland so that the Accountant General is no longer obliged to maintain the County Court Account at that particular institution; and

  • add a new form of lodgment schedule for use in situations where a lending institution finds itself holding on behalf of an untraceable mortgagor the proceeds of sale of property it has sold as mortgagee and wishes to lodge same in court.
