Paragraph 9
F1. . . the High Court may, on the application of the Society, order that no payment shall be made without the leave of. . . the High Court—
by any bank or building society (whether or not named in the order) out of any. . . account in which any money (whether received before, on or after the date of the order) of the solicitor or his firm is held or which the solicitor or his firm has the right to operate on or otherwise deal with; or
by any other person (whether or not named in the order) of any money placed with him by the solicitor or his firm (whether before, on or after the date of the order) or held by him (in whatever manner and whether received before, on or after that date) on behalf of the solicitor or his firm.
No order under this paragraph shall take effect in relation to any person to whom it applies unless—
the Society have served a copy of the order on that person (whether or not he is named in the order) and he either knows that he holds money on behalf of the solicitor or his firm or has failed to exercise due diligence to ascertain whether any money is so held by him; and
if that person is a banker or building society officer, the Society have informed him of the branch of the bank or building society at which the money to which the order relates is believed by them to be held.
