(i)the debtor; and

(ii)any other person the court specifies; and

(c)state on whom the schedule of residual attachment must be served.

(a)that the property specified in the application (or any part of it) is not capable of being attached by residual attachment; or

(b)that—

(i)were the satisfaction order proposed in the application made, it would not result in the value of that property being realised; or
