It is pointed out on behalf of the Respondent that this Bank Account is already the subject matter of certain proceedings in the Superior Court of Essex County, New Jersey, U.S.A. and in which, on 24th December 2015, an Administrator pendente lite was authorized to take possession and control of the assets in the Habib Bank account.

It is clarified that my allowing of this Chamber Summons is not to be construed as in any way being adverse to or derogating from the order of the US Superior Court or its appointment of the Administrator pendente lite. This amendment is allowed only for the sake of completeness of the listing the estate. 4.

The Chamber Summons is disposed of in these terms with no order as to costs.
