“For the purposes of the client money rules and the client money distribution rules contained in the Client Assets Sourcebook, CASS 7 and 7A a client’s contractual claim and the amount for which it might prove in respect of such claim fell to be reduced by the amount of any actual or anticipated distribution from the client money pool. The client could not prove for both a claim resulting from a shortfall in the client money trust and the balance of its contractual claim where the shortfall claim did not exceed the contractual claim. However, the rule against double proof did not prevent a claim by a client in respect of a shortfall in payment of its client money entitlement to the extent that it exceeded its contractual claim or in a case where the client had no contractual claim.”
