This order relates to the motion filed by the Petitioners in CS 178 of 2008. First of all, for the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit filed in support of the motion, I find it just and necessary that an urgent ex-parte order should be made to protect the assets belonging to the legal heirs to the estate of the deceased Merali. I make this order in the interest of justice in exercise of the equitable powers conferred by Section 6 of he Courts Act and in the light of the Marieva Injunction Principles.
Having given careful thought to the entire circumstances of the case and on the strength of the reason stated in the affidavit I hereby make the following orders;-
I hereby confirm the injunction issued by this Court on the 8th of August 2008 in CS 178 of 2008 which directed Mrs. Mireille Rolande Colman-Merali of Roche Boise, Anse Volbert, Praslin not to make any transfer of the funds held in the bank accounts belonging to the estate of the deceased R. Merali;
In pursuance of the said injunction order, I hereby make further order that BNP Paribas Fortis transfers the sum of Euros 1,388,667.82 to the executrix account held by Notary Carl Ockerman in Brussels for the account of the succession of R. Merali which sum is to be debited from Mrs. Mireille Rolande Colman-Merali’s bank accounts in Belgium, (more fully set out in the schedule hereunder) and the balance to remain frozen until further order of this Court.
In the interest of justice, I direct the Registrar of the Supreme Court to serve a copy of this order on Mrs. Mireille Rolande Colman-Merali of Roche Boise, Anse Volbert, Praslin at the earliest.
Orders made accordingly.
