Question about cash payments

[cg1]

I have a question from my Bulgarian client - is there a law in the UK that regulates cash (as in pound notes not bank transfers or cheques) payments for insurance claim payouts? In Bulgaria there is a specific law stating that claims payments can only be made by bank transfer. Is there a similar law in the UK and if so where can I find it?

I am not aware of any such requirement in English Law - I am not certain about the law in Scotland or Northern Ireland

I assume the client is a resident of Bulgaria who is a creditor of an insurer in the UK, who wishes to pay him to settle a claim against the insured. The insurer would never pay out in cash.
