Interesting question. According to circular G1/2007, there are at least 2 cases currently before Cmmrs where payment was made to the clmt, but should have been made to the L/L (these are CH/1821/2006 & CH/3629/2006).
If it wasn't for that, my response would have been an instant "...HB can't be paid twice.....so the only avenue is to make a formal complain asking for compensation (outside the HB scheme).....". But, in light of the outstanding CDs, it would probably be sensible to sit on the fence for now.... .
Hopefully, the CDs will settle the issue as to what happens in terms of HB legislation (whichever way the decisions go).
