JUDGMENT

THE DEPUTY BAILIFF: We have been informed that there is an action pending in the High Court which will be heard on Thursday or Friday of this week whereupon a decision will be made as to whether documents need to be disclosed in the main action in England which may affect the orders which have already been made in this jurisdiction.

Mr Costa has pointed out and Mr Dixon is not disagreeing that the Orders made in this jurisdiction and in other jurisdictions ride on the back of the main action which is running in the High Court.

In the circumstances we are not going to make the Order. We are going to vary it pending the decision of the High Court as is requested in the Summons. The documents held at the registered office of the company should now be lodged forthwith with the Viscount pending further order of this Court. Because everything appears to be dependent on a decision to be made in the High Court we will give Mr Dixon liberty to apply on 1 hours notice for the matter to come back to Court.
