RE: Injunction thoughts1 Jan 2019 18:31
On 19 November 2018, in accordance with applicable procedures, the FRC and FIC (collectively, the "Company") filed with the Grand Court their Statement of Claim in the Action. In the Statement of Claim, the Company states that defendant Mr Hope is in breach of his fiduciary duties as a director of FRC and these breaches include, inter alia, attempting to deprive the Company of assets for his own benefit and/or for the benefit of OMF, failing to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, failing to exercise independent judgement, and unlawful interference with the business of the Company. The Statement of Claim alleges that OMF conspired with Mr Hope in relation to the above matters. The Company claims damages against Mr Hope and OMF in the aggregate amount of US$56,287,800.

The Grand Court has ordered that Mr Hope and OMF should file their defense to the Company's Statement of Claim by 18 December 2018. The Grand Court also gave directions in relation to the application by Mr Hope and OMF to discharge the previously granted injunction; a hearing to deal with that application is expected to take place in December.
The 18 was the date to file his defence just like the 28 was the new date.I think a date will be set in january but not necesarily for january and the injunction will now run until whenever the next hearing is.
On 18 December 2018, the Grand Court held a hearing regarding injunction granted on 11 October 2018 and, on 21 December 2018, ordered that it should be discharged, however the Company is going to appeal that decision with the appeals court. The Grand Court also ordered that the injunction should remain in force until the next hearing, which is to be listed in January 2019.
