    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAJ129/2013

    Because the plaintiff held the only valid judgment against the vessel, bailiff fees had been paid, party-and-party costs were agreed, and there was no valid caveat or competing claim, the court applied the prima facie order of priorities and ordered that the entire remaining proceeds of sale and interest be paid to the plaintiff's solicitors in partial satisfaction of the judgment and to meet party-and-party costs.
