The Court directed that the Council, as statutory trustee, may verify and require proof of claims by the Intervention Agent, adopt a pari passu pro rata distribution of client money, impose the date of the order as the cut-off for new claims, exclude unverified/unresponsive or uncontactable claimants from distributions, treat defrauded claimants as not entitled absent traceable payments to the funds, and permit office money to be applied to the Council's costs on a solicitor and own client basis; the draft order of the Council was approved with specified textual amendments.
