The Court held the barrister's fees claimed in the first item ($109,811.68 plus interest) were encompassed by Schedule E of the consent settlement and therefore cannot be pursued in the bankruptcy proof of debt; alternatively those fees are not recoverable by the barrister as a debt of the bankrupt under the Insolvency Act 2006; leave to appeal out of time was granted but other secondary reliefs sought by the applicant were dismissed.
