Application was made before his Honour Judge Skinner Turner in Hi, M. Supreme Court on Monday to renew the interim injunction granted last week in respect of certain Government funds for which there are rival claimants.
The motion, submitted by Mr. KR. N. Macleod on behalf of the Peking Government, is: that the defendant Corporation (the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank), its directors, agents and servants, be restrained from parting with any monies now in the possession of the corporation and standing in the name of Dr. Wu ling-fang, and being part of the Government funds of the Republic of China, until after judgement in an action commenced in the City Court at Shanghai between the plaintiff and Dr. Wu Ting-fang."
Mr. D. McNeill appeared on behalf of the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank.
Mr. Macleod asked that the injunction be renewed until judgement is given in the Chinese City Court in the action brought by the Peking Government against Dr. Wu. That Court had accepted jurisdiction and had made an order agains/-Dr. Wu, and_ it, therefore, seemed that in this present application, plaintiffs were entitled as a matter of course to an order restraining the bank from parting with these funds until the Chinese Court gave a final decision. If the injunction were granted, counsel suggested that the pending action be adjourned sine die.
