Out of Court settlement
Myslef and the wife have very recently issued via the county court a summons to our previous letting agent re on return of deposit even though Landlord instructed them to do so, no damage or rent arrars. If after or during the 14 days they send a cheque for amount of deposit less our court fee and any interest owed are we obliged to accept this payment ? I feel they have misapproriated our funds and wish to see their accounts. We are now in the process of purchasing a diffrent property.

No you can continue to press for the full amount and you have them by the proverbials, keep pressing they have no leg to stand on and they know it! Just be brutal do not negotiate just press ahead until you have the lot. Letting agents are like a dog with a bone over deposits, they will pay in the end they don't want to go to court where they'll pay even more, possibly even compensation.
