On March 14, immediately after the court had ruled on the summary judgment motions, the tenant asked the court to release the funds in the registry to her. Relying on several Superior Court decisions, she argued that, “[w]hen a [tenant] prevails on a summary judgment motion, it is the prac*12tice of this Court to release those [registry] monies to [her],” since the protective order “serves the purpose of protecting ... a plaintiff who prevails in a suit in this branch of the Superior Court.” After argument, and at the tenant’s request, the court agreed to delay ruling on the disposition of the funds until after the parties had submitted briefs.
