Money in the control of the Court may be the subject of execution with the leave of the Court. The Judgments Acts did not apply to money held in Court. Lord Esher MR said: ‘section 14 does not apply to money . . it applies only to Government stock, funds or annuities, and stock or shares in a company.’ As to Haly v Barry, ‘That decision seems to me to amount to this, that the order nisi is the charging order, but that it stands in abeyance until it is made absolute. When, however, it is made absolute the order nisi is the charging order, and it takes effect from the date when it was originally made. The result of this is, that the plaintiffs’ charging order is prior in date to the order for payment to the guardians.’
