Such a right is sufficient to confer on the creditor the necessary interest enabling him to apply for and obtain an order for sale and such an order, if made, will remove the element of deferral, See English Insolvency Act, 1986 (c 45), s. 313; (English) Limitation Act, 1980, s. 20(1), Gotham v. Doodes, (2007) 1 WLR 86 CA....
