Interest on High Court Lodgement Deposits Following representations to the President of the High Court and discussions between the Society and the Federation of Insurers, C.I.E., Bord Na Mona and E.S.B., agreement has now been secured on a revised procedure to be adopted in relation to Court Orders in respect of payment out of monies lodged in Court by Defendants. The revised procedure will be as follows:— 1. On consent judgements, where there is a lodgement, the interest on lodgement up to the date of making the order should be paid to the Defendant, or his Solicitor, and all interest accruing on the lodgement from the date of the Order until payment out to be paid to the Plaintiff. 2. In cases where an award is made by the Court the same provisions should apply, except if the amount of the award is less than the amount of the lodgement, then the interest from the date of the order payable to the Plaintiff should only be on the net amount of the decree or Judgement after deduction of costs and the interest on the excess amount of the lodgement and on the costs be paid to the Defendant. 4. In infant cases similar provisions would apply on the basis that the operative date for payment of the interest to the infant Plaintiff would be from the date of the ruling of the settlement. The President has kindly agreed to make his colleagues on the Bench and the relevant Court officials aware of what has been agreed upon. Practitioners should instruct their Counsel to apply for Orders on these terms.
