Applications for payments out of court funds
If you are applying for payments out of court funds as a dissentient shareholder or following the sale of a property, you will need to use the evidence of identity and declaration form (CH60) alongside the N244.
You should also read the guidance if applying to claim money paid into the High Court in relation to a property or shareholdings.
