The document appears to be a legal document discussing the ICC Award and related proceedings. Below is a faithful transcription of the visible text, formatted according to the specified guidelines: --- ### The ICC Award

On August 9, 2016, AMUSA commenced arbitration proceedings against Essar Steel in Minnesota. The ICC Award having been obtained on December 1, 2016, was then enforced in Minnesota in proceedings in which Essar Steel did not participate. On April 2, 2018, the US District Court entered judgment in favor of AMUSA recognizing and enforcing the ICC Award.

The Mauritian Supreme Court entertained a contested application to set aside the ICC Award on September 20, 2018. Essar Steel contended that it was unable to participate in the case and that consequently enforcement would be contrary to public policy. A judgment was still awaited when the present application to discharge AMUSA by Essar Steel was heard. ### The English Proceedings

From Mr. Nouroozi's First English Affidavit, it is apparent that the relief sought is permission to enforce the ICC Award. The WFO was sought in aid of enforcement. The real risk of dissipation was demonstrated by reference to historic asset dissipation at Essar Steel, historic actual or alleged unlawful conduct within the Essar Group, and Essar Steel's default in complying with the ICC Award.

From the Plaintiff's Skeleton in the English Proceedings filed in support of the ex parte application for a Search Order, it is apparent that this limb of relief was legally founded on a statutory provision broadly corresponding to the common law Anton Pillar jurisdiction. The Search Order was sought in aid of execution of ICC Award. --- This transcription is based on the visible text in the image and does not include any invented content.

In his English Affidavit, Mr Nouroozi deposed: 193. As set out above, AMUSA's position is that steps have been taken to evacuate Essar Steel's assets to AMUSA's prejudice.

Against this background, the specific wrongdoing relied upon in our the Norwich Pharmacal relief was unsurprisingly described somewhat concisely in the First English Affidavit: 193. As set out above, AMUSA's position is that steps have wrongfully been taken to evacuate Essar Steel's assets to AMUSA's prejudice as a creditor.

In the light of such information as is presently available to it, AMUSA believes that steps have been taken and/or will be taken to dissipate and/or obscure the location of Essar Steel's assets and so impede enforcement of the ICC Award. The basis for this belief is set out in the Nouroozi English Aff. in particular at Sections E and F. In summary, however, they include the following: ```

In this case the Plaintiff, Pursuant to an ex parte originat dated 10 January 2019 seeks a Norwich Pharmacal order against the applicant made against different defendants in London where Christopher Butcher, J granted various orders, including a w ezing injunction against the defendants in those proceeding, recognition of the arbitration award which is central to the prade's summation, also granted a search order and finally granted Norwich to e defendant relief against the defendants in that action.

That evidence, in my judgement, does nothing more than to set the scene for looking at the wrongdoing which is complained of in a substantive way in a more cynical light than might otherwise be justified had the Defendants been companies with an unblemished record.

The proposition that the Defendants at the top of the corporate chain are likely to have information which is of relevance to the wrongdoing is supported by reference to the fact that there has been a judicial finding in the Ontario Court of Justice that the two Defendants have, in the past, exercised high levels of

Findings: Can Norwich Pharmacal Relief Be Granted in Aid of Foreign Proceedings? ## The Respective Submissions

Mr Flynn QC invited the Court to find that there was no jurisdiction to grant Norwich Pharmacal relief in aid of foreign proceedings to enforce the ICC Award on two alterntive grounds: (a) The Award could not in law be relied upon without leave being obtained under the Foreign Arbitral Awards Law (1997 Revision) ("FAAEL") or Grand Court Order 73; and/or (b) Norwich Pharmacal relief could not in any event be obtained in aid of foreign proceedings.

GCR Order 73 un-controversially governs the procedure for enfiles ("to grant") an award such as the ICC Award. The disputed issue was whether the FAAEL meant that without seeking leave to enforce the Award, it could not be relied upon at all. Section 5 provides:

A Convention award shall, subject to this Law, be enforceable in the same manner as an award under section 5 of the Arbitration Law (1996 Revision) and shall be treated as binding on all persons between whom it was made and may be enforced by any of those persons by way of defence, set off, or binding in any legal proceedings in the Islands and any reference in this Act or any other law to an award shall be construed as including reference to the Award. At first blush, this response seemed to reflect a straightforward view of the correct legal position.

Mr Weisselberg QC countered that this submission misunderstood section 5 which was designed to confer a right to rely on an award for the purposes on the persons between whom it was made. There was no reason in principle why the Court could not take notice of the fact that AMUSA had obtained the ICC Award as the context of the present application; no reliance was placed on the truth of the contents of the Award. At first blush, this response seemed to reflect a straightforward view of the correct legal position.

The second point advanced by the Defendants had more sinuosities in it. The central thesis was that because a specific statutory regime existed for obtaining evidence for use in foreign proceedings (the Evidence Order as read with GCR Order 73), the common law jurisdiction to obtain information for use in foreign proceedings through granting Norwich Pharmacal relief was not available. Reliance was mainly placed on R (Omar) v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs [2013] 1 All ER 190329 in the Matter of Accelormitall US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited – FSD 2 of 2019 (KCI) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order.

It was further argued that the Evidence Order did not preclude Norwich Pharmacal relief in Gianniev-Miller[2007]CILR 38.I accept the submission advanced on behalf of AMUSA that reliance on the Award has been obtained is permissible as against the Defendant. The Order poses the underlying dispute as against the award debtor. The Defendants' could not take the authority which directly supported the contrary proposition. 39.The starting point of the analysis must be to determine what the scope of the Evidence Order is. The key sections provide as follows: 1.Where an application is made to the Grand Court for an order to be obtained in the Cayman Islands, and the court is satisfied that the application is made in pursuance of a request by or on behalf of a court or tribunal ("the requesting court") exercising jurisdiction in a country or territory outside the Cayman Islands and (b)that the evidence to which the application relates is to be obtained for the purposes of civil proceedings which either have been instituted before the requesting court or whose institution before that court is contemplated, the Grand Court shall have the powers conferred on it by the following Power of Grand Court to give effect to application for assistance 2-(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Grand Court shall have power, on any such application as is mentioned in section 1 above, by order to make such provision for obtaining evidence in the Cayman Islands as may appear to the court to be appropriate for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Act. ```

The Norwich Pharmacal order granted in Braga v Equity Trust [1991] 1 CLLR 402 was seemingly unambiguously sought for use in proceedings. But the respondents to the application did not themselves set the ex parte order aside and the order was (as in Gianner v Miller) ading pon art. The jurisdiction to grant equitable relief in aid of pending foreign pro amputation despite the existence of the Evidence Order regime, did not directly arise for Smel lte CI held: “40 When applicants seek to set aside an order already made by the vser t and executed by the party to whom it is directed, they need to establish an huse of the process of the court through bad faith or material non-disclosure of information that was necessary to be taken into account by the court when assessing whether or not to make the order in the first place.

Because the jurisdiction to grant the relief was not directly in issue Sequ strictly obiter dicta have less persuasive weight than would otherwis Mr Flynn QC was also correct to point out that in Equatorial Guinea (Pmo Bank of Scotland Inl. [2006] UKPC 7, the foreign proceedings poin at the Privy Council level. However Lord Bingham described (with a the Guernsey Court of Appeal decision on that issue in terms which el of the point which was argued at the intermediate appellate level: “9.The interveners' primary submission of legal privresident) the Lieutenant Bailiff was that the court had no jurisdiction not Pharmacal relief where no substantive proceedings were beg in Guernsey. He rejected this argument in a carefully consistent ucidate t of 3 November 2004.... 11.The interveners gave notice of appeal against that replea two grounds only. The first, repeating their primary submission to grantant Bailiff, was that the court had no jurisdiction to grant Nc contemp nacal relief in aid of foreign proceedings. It is unnecessary to red judg of this argument since the Court of Appeal rejected it and it was rorwich Ph before the Board." 49. So the Guernsey Court of Appeal in Equatorial Guinea (President, 1 to the Link of Scotland Inl. did not decide or approve the proposition that Norwich relief could be granted in aid of pending proceedings notwithstanding the Rowe letters rogatory were available. It did confirm the more general propositionharmonot purit able remedy was available in aid of foreign proceedings. 50. Only obiter dicta in Braga address the impact of the availability of remedy for obtaining evidence for use in foreign proceedings. There are two ip nellie CJ's judicial observations on matters of legal principle (Braga, paragraph's 2-83) which in my judgment, properly understood, accurately reflected the com asp law position when they were made and (as I ultimately conclude below) still accurately reflect the current legal position: (a) the Evidence Order did not oust the equitable jurisdiction altogether, so"a Norwich Pharmacal order can be the appropriate remedy in a particular case"; and (b) "The jurisdiction to grant Norwich Pharmacal relief in aid of foreign proceedings must also be taken to be a settled proposition in light of the decision of the Privy Council in Equatorial Guinea (President) v.

The Defendants' counsel relied primarily on the subsequent English Act decision in R (Omar) v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs [2014] QB 112 as support for the proposition that where the Evidence Act 1968 applies, the equitable jurisdiction to grant Norwich Pharmacal relief exists.

Implicit in the reasoning at paragraph 25 is the assumption, ground that case, that the statutory remedy was in fact available so that the N jurisdiction would constitute a "parallel procedure".

In my judgment the relevant legal question is not simply whether o Order mechanism is theoretically available to obtain the informati through the pre-existing equitable remedy. That is a threshold question w usually involve consideration of the law of the relevant foreign jurisdictioning leg as the local Evidence Order. 55. The complementary and more substantive question, assuming the bo Norwich P overlap of available remedies can be shown, is not simply whet on soughrences between the two regimes are "so substantial that they demonstra cn Wi ment could not have intended the common law remedy to survive the as mut with statutory scheme" (R (Child Poverty Action Group) v Secretary of that P and Pensions, per Lord Dyson, cited by Maurice Kay LI in Omar at paroducti That is logically the second stage of this part of the analysis. The first quest some twn did not arise for consideration in Omar) is whether the "two remedies cover ner the don ground". 56. Having regard to the breadth and flexibility of the Norwich Phar State for fiction, this question must in my judgment be a nuanced context-driven in s agrap 24 than a rigid and/or an abstract one. To my mind it makes no sense and it is ymacal junsible to imply that Parliament must have intended to eliminate the uy raf, "uitable jurisdiction in each and every case where the information sought wot fairl we used in foreign proceedings. Why should the inquiry as to whether the st 2" Courplaced the common law or equitable remedy be carried out without regard as like or not the statutory remedy was in real world terms available? 57. Omar was purportedly applied in Rami los Trading Limited-v-Bayanovs [2016] EWHC 3175; [2016] 2 CLC 896 (Flaux J, as he then was), and the argur its and judgment in this case provide further general support for the view that factual and legal matrix of each case will usually shape the analysis as to whether the statutory remedy covers "precisely the same ground" as the equitable one. At first blush this decision seems to go beyond the limits of the actual decision in Omar by holding that the statutory foreign evidence regime is engaged even where no foreign proceedings are yet afoot. It clearly does undermine my preliminary view that the question of whether foreign proceedings are actually pending was a pivotal consideration. Flaux J held in this particular respect as follows: “118. In relation to all the potential claims identified in (807) of the claimant's skeleton argument other than those which might be brought against 190329 in the Matter of Arcelor Mittal US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited-FSD 2 of 2013 (HK) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order ```
```html 119.I do not accept that submission or the related submissions e only claimant in this case is at the stage before the institution abroad of proceedings contemplated, within the meaning of section 1(b) of the rement or In my judgment, as is clear from [80] of the skeleton argument and complete contrast to the claimant in Shlainmoun, the claimant in th at it was has already identified and thus knows in which jurisdictions it, in could be brought and to that extent the institution of proceedings present that ran of section 1(b) is contemplated. Furthermore, as I have no proof, the vast majority of the 39 questions are directed at the pre 1975 A, after January 2012 and, therefore, cannot be intended to be us already met claim under the 2005 shareholders' agreement, but only a clarified of te P 2012 shareholders' agreement or some other claim in oversecondary claims. 120.Even if the argument that the claimant is at some stage head, us proceed of proceedings abroad is contemplated were correct, able to the illogicality I identified during the course of argument the tied to for this hypothesis, the claimant has Norwich Pharmacal relieves ruin unwhen it does not have enough to advance a claim at all, but what avant th have sufficient evidence to mount a claim but needs the addif as M availability sought to support the claim, Norwich Pharmacal relief here it do for ble. It seems to me that the answer to this illogicality point is that oral init, glk fouh submitted, the claimant is at some stage before proceedings are contemplated, that is because the claimant cannot actually estatish that there has been any wrongdoing, only that it suspects that there has been wrongdoing, in which case the claimant cannot show a sufficiently good arguable case to entile it to Norwich Pharmacal relief. 121.I agree with Mr Chapman QC that it is not permissible to bypass the statutory regime simply by asserting that the case is at some earlier stage before the institution of proceedings abroad is contemplated. The reality in this case is that one of two situations must pertain. First, on the basis of the allegations which the claimant already makes, it has sufficient to launch a claim whether here or abroad, which must be a fortiori the position in relation to the dividends issue, where the claimant no longer pursues ```

In this context, Flaux J found that the statutory regime for obtaining evidence inf use in foreign proceedings was engaged even though those proceedings had not been commenced. 59. Flaux J also found that the statutory regime was substantially inconsistent with the equitable regime and so the former excluded the latter, rejecting the suggestion that there was any material difference between the 1975 UK civil regime and the 2003 criminal regime under consideration in Omar. 131. Whilst it is true that the element of ministerial discretion is absent in the case of the 1975 Act. I do not regard that as a determinative factor suggesting that substantial differences do not exist, since in one sense, the ministerial discretion is an aspect of the overall point which I consider is 190329 In the Matter of Arcelor Mittal US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited FSD 2 of 2019 (UK) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order 26 ```

That requirement for a request from the foreign applicant with another important limit built in to the statutory regime viz As the section 2(4) of the Act, which ensures that, where whuregimes in the production of documents, any order the court makes under the general terms to the documents specified in the order. It is not for disclosure in general terms. As the Divisional Court said, "Omar: It is important also to note that under s. 2(4) there are significant restriction on the power of the court to order disclosure [38] [fn4] in other words, the English court trusts the foreign court to make a proper statutory and the question of what is sought is not left to the clarion Act". These are indeed important sovereignty limits on the possible co distance the court will provide in relation to the obtaining of evidence or its use in foreign proceedings. It is certainly not permissible to extent of to ass the constraints of the statute by making the sort of wide-rang in the present case. 133. So far as the common exceptions in the two statutes of national security and Crown servants are concerned, evidencing that Maurice Kay LJ may have identified a difference before resorting to regimes and the common law remedy as regards national exception more apparent than real, I would not regard that as a door suggesting that substantial differences do not exist. The national security respect of Crown servants is common to both statutes and water the Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal in Omar as a substantial difference between the statutory regime and the common law remedy. I do not regard it as a permissible exercise in statutory interpretation to suggest that the difference is only operative in excluding the Norwich Pharmaceutical jurisdiction when the exception might actually come into play. The question is one of principle not tied to the facts of any particular case: are there substantial differences between the structure of the statutory regime and the common law remedy such that Parliament could not have intended the common law remedy to survive the introduction of the statutory scheme. If there are, then the common law remedy cannot be relied upon in any case where the statutory regime is engaged. ```

None of the cases relied upon by Mr Akkouh is in the same league in terms of the breathtaking width of the application. Although he sought to submit that, in some cases, such as Mohamed, the courts had made wide orders, for the reasons I have set out above, I consider that a close analysis of those cases does not ```

When considering the Evidence Order, it is important to remember that it was extended of situations tends to give effect to international legal obligations arising under the Hague regime of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil and Commercial Matters, extended to the Cayman Islands on November 16, 1980.

The different framework covered by the competing jurisdictions is not in and of itself a material consular principle the key question is whether or not on the facts of a particular case the need for equitable relief is displaced by the availability of the statutory remedy. The same applies to the initial suggestion that the pendency of foreign proceedings in which the information might be deployed was a potentially crucial consideration. On a proper analysis, whether or not proceedings have been commenced abroad is not dispositive of the question of whether in a particular factual and legal matrix the statutory regime is engaged because it is available. Having regard to all the circumstances of the present case, Mr Weisselberg QC was correct to submit that the statutory and equitable jurisdiction did not straddle the same terrain. 70. Whether the statutory jurisdiction displaces the equitable jurisdiction cannot be properly determined in a simple formulaic fashion. There is no inflexible legal principle that debars litigants from seeking to obtain information invoking this Court's ```
Findings: Has the Norwich Pharmacal Jurisdiction Been Displaced by the Order? ## in the Factual and Legal Matrix of the Present Case?

The key contextual elements of the application for the NPO in the present case may be summarised as follows: (a) The suspected wrongdoing entails the taking of deliberate steps to dissipate assets belonging to Essar Steel, a Mauritian company. (b) The suspected wrongdoers are natural persons located in England but include the Defendants, which are both domiciled here. (c) The Plaintiff has not identified what proceedings might be commenced against the Defendants within this jurisdiction, and there is no or no credible suggestion that the Plaintiff already has sufficient information to commence proceedings (possibly in the form of an NPO) against Essar Steel abroad. (d) It is possible that proceedings to obtain relief from the arrears of Essar Steel might be commenced against the Defendants within this jurisdiction even though the most obvious forum for such proceedings would appear to be proceedings (possibly in the form of an NPO) against Essar Steel abroad. (e) A central rationale for the present application is the risk that information is not compulsorily preserved, it may be destroyed. In these circumstances, there is no basis for suggesting that the NPO is not actually necessary because the Plaintiff has available to it a more appropriate alternative remedy of commencing proceedings in an identifiable jurisdiction abroad and obtaining adequate redress through the statutory regime governing obtaining evidence for use in proceedings abroad.

Having regard to the particular circumstances of the present case, I accept Mr Weisselberg QC's central submission that the Evidence Order has not displaced the equitable jurisdiction to grant relief in the form of the NPO. The most critical considerations in the present case are that although it is true that the information sought appears likely to be deployed in proceedings abroad, I am satisfied that: 190329 in the Matter of ArcelorMittal US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited – FSD 2 of 2019 (UK) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order.

Anything short of the tential to involve the English court in the paralysis or at the serious inhibition of international trade, I am not sure that the , adds anything other than emphasis to 'evasion'.

(paragraph it a). His decision was, in effect, that it was obvious that any inequitable conduct (such atiorfully seeking to evade foreign judgments) qualified for Norwich Pharmacal relief. This was a robust finding which assumes that it is not necessary to pigeon-hole complaints of wrongdoing into precise legal categories, consistent with the fundamental aim of the jurisdiction being to "do justice" in all the circumstances of the particular case. 83. His main finding on the post-judgment issue was that the jurisdiction to grant Norwich Pharmacal relief was closely aligned with the jurisdiction to grant other post-judgment injunctive relief, and it was clear that the latter jurisdiction existed.

See disanka party (Europe) AG v Victor Ayela. The Court of Appeal held that veloquen Group which must be satisfied for making a disclosure order against a third party had become 'mixed up' in the transaction concerning which discovery is required and (2) the order for discovery is against the 'mere witness' rule. The Court continued:** In the case of discovery against a third party in and the two cgment Mareva, the mere witness rule can have no relevance to a third will already have taken place. It follows that all the judgment that found jurisdiction is that the third party should have tri Mercantile up in the transaction concerning which discovery isec course, that the court should consider it 'just and c make an order.'

We are not told in Ayiela wh orders were made at the same time as the freezing orders. IdV. is materi to me not to matter if the freezing orders were made separately further the closure orders. In A.J. Bekhor & Company Limited v Bilton the England, world's Appeal by Ackner. LJ considered that there must be a power inhen the court's statutory power to make all such ancillary orders as appearfire Aish part to be just and convenient to ensure the exercise of the Mareva jurisnme theent ineffective. The Court there traced the power back to section 25 of the Juds to the c of 1873. A.J. Bekhor was a decision made whilst section 37 of what bidiction isompreme Court Act 1981 was still in Bill form. It was also a decision at a relaticay early stage of development of the Mareva jurisdiction. Thus the juridical baeco for the newly articulated jurisdiction called for scrutiny. Ackner. LJ considered that the power to grant ancillary disclosure orders did not derive from the court's inherent jurisdiction, nor from the court's procedure rules, but from statute. Griffiths. LJ agreed, and postulated the position in wide terms. He stated: "If the court has power to make a Mareva injunction it must have power to make an effective Mareva injunction. If the injunction will not be effective it ought not be made. (..) It may be necessary to order discovery to make the injunction effective and I would hold that the court has the power to make such ancillary orders as are necessary to secure that the injunctive relief given to the plaintiff is effective. I therefore agree that a judge does have power to order discovery in aid of a Mareva injunction if it is necessary for the effective operation of the injunction." ```

The existence of this authority, which provides strong indirect and alar Wallbank J's reasoning, may explain why the Defendants did not findings that the jurisdiction to grant injunctions and Norwich Pheral sigorge closely aligned. The critique focussed very narrowly on whether Wallband to mjudament to place as much reliance on N/MZ as he did. Assuming that the post-jubile fourmacdiction must at a minimum be as broad as the pre-judgment position (it shak J was? mind be more readily available),it puts to bed the notion that it is impermidgment jugere NPO to be used in aid of the WFO granted in the English Proceedings. If a freezulg order may be granted pre-judgment to prevent third parties within the juridissin who control a foreign defendant's assets from disposing of them,it would logically seem to follow that a similar injunction can be granted post-judgment in similar circumstances. If a freezing injunction may be granted post-judgment against parties resident here to prevent them from disposing of a foreign judgment debtor's assets,it would seem to logically follow that Norwich Pharmacal relief can potentially granted to obtain information about past or future asset dissipation activities which the resident third parties have directed or may in the future direct.

Lord Bingham's observations in Law Debenture Trust Corporation v Urdaio Taspin Oil Corporation Ltd [1995] Ch 152 at 166B-D read in the abstract appear to support the Defendants' thesis that dissipating assets where no judicial restraint is being contravened is not wrongdoing in a legal sense. Mr Weisselberg QC rightly submitted that these remarks arose in an entirely different context. The question was whether the defendant, which had no contractual relationship with the plaintiff, had committed an actionable wrong (interference with contractual relations) by transferring certain shares at a time when the relevant defendant was not subject to a Mareva injunction. The focus of the analysis was the scope of tortious liability in that case. The Plaintiff's Skeleton, as it happens, identified in passing conspiracy as a possible claim. Be that as it may there is no basis for suggesting that the only form of wrongdoing which qualifies for equitable relief is tortious liability. ```

This would in my judgment quite clearlegal, not simply moral wrongdoing. 92. One can now turn to NML Capital Ltd v Chapman Freeborn Hold CLC 968 which was central to the UVW decision. An important preld clearly which informs how one should approach the question of what qualified doing appears in the following passage in Tomlinson LJ's judgment in Mustify validati freezing in 93. Other passages suggest that the limits which the English Court of aph 2 anched to place on the parameters of wrongdoing were more concerned with 'upreme' scope of the potential involvement of innocent third parties than in limiting qualifies as wrongdoing altogether: 24.

It follows that it is important to analyse with what precisely lies the alleged wrongdoing. There is nothi ose rc wrong in chartering an aircraft, unless it be said that any trovor T some lgment debtor which involves using his assets for that pig inher erg thr than satisfying a judgment debt is in itself wrongdoing. How by a fact that proposition. It would lead to a jurisdiction of absurd widharp is no answer to that objection that the exercise of the jurisdiction would be subject to discretionary considerations. It would be absurd and exorbitant if parties were exposed to the risk of having to defend applications for discovery on the basis of no more than having traded with a person who turns out to have been at the relevant time a judgment debtor. It would encourage speculative litigation. 27. The present case is in my judgment completely different from one in which assets are removed from a jurisdiction for no purpose other than to insulate them from execution in satisfaction of a judgment debt. Such a transaction would arguably be in itself for relevant purposes wrongful. So too the transfer of assets between persons or companies ```

In the course of Mr Flynn QC's argument, I made reference to this oan b'fancil's decision in Singularis Holdings Ltd v PricewaterhouseCoopers[ 675 as illustrating in an analogous legal context the need for care about de scope of common law powers. There is again indirect support in this or the proposition that Norwich Pharmacal relief may be sought even w ar that (assuming, of course, that the jurisdiction has not been ousted by the Privy edings the information sought is intended to de deployed only in ov ar that statutory regime for obtaining evidence for use in foreign proceedin is was a case where Caymanian official liquidators sought information frabnSaddle editors subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the Bermuda Court.

In ivering that or R(Omar) v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth of the liu 20141 OB 112, para 12 the Court of Appeal doubted whether the m of the coe ween evidence and information was helpful, and their doubt was ph Affa ffed in that case, where information was being sought for use in functio for usings But the distinction is of broader legal significance. The council policy crohabr been as inhibited in their willingness to develop appropriate rem... prion the provision of information when a sufficiently compelling legers have raths for it. 22. The classic modern illustration is the jurisdiction recognised by ilp House of Lords in Norwich Pharmacal Co v Customs and Excise Comm... sioners [1974] AC 133. The House, drawing mainly on the earlier decisions in Orr v Diaper(1876) 4ChD 92-25 WR 23 and Upmann v Elkam(1871) LR 12 Eq 140, LR 7 Ch App 130, recognised a common law power to order the production of information about the identity of a wrongdoer where the defendant had been involved, even innocently, in the wrong. Such an order, as they recognised, would not have been available to compel the giving of evidence, because of the long-standing objection of courts of equity to a bill of discovery against a "mere witness": see, in particular, pp 173-174(Lord Reid) . In Smith Kline and French Laboratories Ltd v Global Pharmaceuticals Ltd[1986] RPC 394, the Court of Appeal in England applied the same principle to information about the identity of a wrongdoer outside the jurisdiction.

Further indirect support for the proposition that, apart from the statutory remedies under the Evidence Order, there is no general of 1901 the principle to granting equitable relief in aid of foreign proceedings or in Flaux availaiaforeign wrongdoing may be found in Ramilos Trading Limited-v-Buyang 896. Reviewing the history of the Norwich Pharmacal jurisdiction relation follows: 68. Nevertheless, for some thirty five years after the Westinghouse case, it seems to have been accepted that Norwich Pharmacal relief would be available in aid of actual or anticipated foreign proceedings, in the same way as in relation to English proceedings, without the 1975 Act imposing any sort of impediment. Thus, in the Court of Appeal decision of Smith Kline & French Laboratories Ltd v Global Pharmaceutics [1986] RPC 34, the defendants were marketing the plaintiffs' drug manufactured by the plaintiffs' Spanish patentee which only had permission to market in Spain, not elsewhere. The appeal concerned that part of the judge's order which required the defendants to disclose, pursuant to the Norwich Pharmacal jurisdiction, the names and addresses of their suppliers and all documents relevant to the supply, to enable the plaintiffs to sue in a foreign court, in Spain or another E.U. country.

```html Summary of governing legal principles 99. In my judgment it is ultimately clear that Norwich Pharmacal relief Massac respect of foreign wrongdoing including evading foreign enforcer! itself? circumstances where no local enforcement proceedings have been statutory machinery for obtaining evidence for use in foreign proc engaged to such an extent as to oust the equitable jurisdiction alten additional requirement for the Norwich Pharmacal applicant to wrongdoing complained of has occurred or will in the future likely can be than without the jurisdiction. It has never been doubted that in establishment Fns the equitable jurisdiction can in principle be invoked in support of wrour witcomm to which relief is being or may be sought abroad. 100. This conclusion might perhaps be supported in part on a far simple which was admittedly not canvassed in argument. Grand Court La section 11A provides as follows: “114.(1) The Court may by order appoint a receiver or & relief in relation to proceedings which- (a) have been or are to be commenced in a court out and (b) are capable of giving rise to a judgment which the Islands under any Law or at common law.” 101. A Norwich Pharmacal Order is very arguably a form of interim relief analogous to an interim injunction which Parliament has provided may be granted in aid of foreign proceedings, provided that the foreign proceedings“are capable of giving rise to a judgment which may be enforced in the Islands”. A foreign arbitral award can be enforced as a judgment in the Cayman Islands. I leave the effect of section 11A of the Law on the Norwich Pharmacal jurisdiction open for determination in future cases. ```

From the Second Baid Affidavit(supported by the Second Door biz Affidavit),prepared for the first return date of January 31, 2019, it was apparent that the Defendants had adopted the well-advised approach of: (a) agreeing in principle to comply with the preservation portion of the NPO and engaging Ernst and Young to image various servers and devices; and (b) seeking more time for compliance due to the extensive nature of the requests. ```

Instead, reliance was placed on the broad assertion that since asset dissipation appeared to have been going since the beginning of the parties' commercial relationship, historic information covering that entire period (and beyond) was reasonably required. ```

Accordingly, I am bound to conclude that justice requires the ten NPO to be narrowed so as to commence on March 1, 2015, approx before the most significant suspect transfer made at a time when the very arguably have been aware that Essar Steel had substantial if a Agreement. The nature of the present application is that the Plaintiffs precisely what application might be brought in what jurisdiction is know what cause of action with what limitation period it may pursue is what wrong doing are vindicated. It has the right to enforce the Award and England and Wales, and may soon have a similar right in Mauritius imately si ed that it is not legally required for AMUSA, at this juncture, to adduce pre Defend of transactions which the information it seeks under the NPO may just not iporal sce such transactions which the information it seeks under the NPO may just not iporal sce such 126. Requiring the Defendants to produce information over a period of in Minny years preceding the date when the ICC Award (December 19, 2017) was um satiabili the Plaintiffs is in my judgment sufficiently proportionate to meet the fivev does tour of in the Norwich Pharmacal context. The longer period initially orderde in to seconally support an Information Preservation Order in aid of a substantived ofify. I claim, assuming it is legally possible to grant such relief. But where the I information to enable it to decide whether or not to bring a claim just under site be a fundamental distinction between information which is necessary to a plaintiff i ma limited purpose and information which would more broadly be relevant and e n in the context of future substantive asset recovery proceedings. Findings: are the terms and scope of the NPO otherwise too broad? 127. Paragraphs 4-5 of the Order deal with the Provision of Information' paragraphs 4(a)-(d) of Schedule B. The Defendants are required ( service of the Order) to: “...file and serve on the Plaintiffs attorneys an affidavit pro the best of its knowledge, information, and belief, full information as to the out in paragraphs 4(a) to (d) of Schedule B to this Order. Insofayvis any Defendant is unable to provide full particulars of those matters, that Defendant shall: (a) Provide such particulars as it is able to provide to the best of its knowledge, information, and belief; and (b) Identify and give the contact details of any other entity or individual who it believes may be able to provide information of such matters." 128. Doubt has admittedly been cast on the theoretical value of the distinction between the terms "information" and "evidence" in the Norwich Pharmacal context. see e.g. Omar at paragraph 12; Singularis at paragraph 142 (Lord Mance). That can have no bearing on the ability of the Defendants, with the benefit of legal advice, to understand what 190329 In the Matter of Arcelor Mittal US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited-FSD 2 of 2019 (UK) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order 55 ```

I also reject the complaint made in the Fourth Baid Affidavit(paragraph 23(2)) that there "may be many companies with no obvious connection to an indirect disposal would clearly include, as the Plaintiff argued, a disposal which need to be included" confirms rather than undermines the application of the third party which then transferred it to a related party. More precisely, the connection had to be considered, without suggesting any alternative ordering which could be used. The Defendants' submission (Skeleton Argument 2 of Schedule B to the NPO is sufficiently clear in all the circumstances of the present form of Order. In my judgment the definition of "related party" in the form of the case. 133. Complaint is also made that the Order will require analysis with Excel has even a substantive enforcement proceeding.

Subject to the Plaintiff having liberty to apply to seek extended discovery in aid of the WFO, if so advised, I would accept that the discovery should at this stage be limited to assets transfers to related parties which have resulted in or contributed to a net reduction in Essar Steel's assets over the period (as modified by this Ruling) covered by the NPO. Schedule B paragraph 4(a) should accordingly be amended by adding the following words (or language to like effect) at the end of the sub-paragraph: "which has resulted in or contributed to a net reduction in Essar Steel's assets". 135. If the NPO is amended in this respect, paragraph 4(b) will likely take on less significance although its ambit would not be precisely the same as the modified paragraph 4(a). I reject the complaint that the term is unclear in any event. Mr. Flynn ```

The Defendants' submission that the Court had no jurisdiction to grant the NPO because section 5 of the FAAEL required local enforcement to enable the Plaintiff to rely on the ICC Award is summarily rejected. 137. The Defendants' further and far more substantive submission that the Court had no jurisdiction to grant the NPO because the relevant equitable jurisdiction has been displaced by statutory regime applicable to obtaining evidence four the NPO reign proceedings is ultimately rejected. This was a point that had not seemed to be directly considered before under Cayman Islands law. The Evidence Order Plr use in ed in all the circumstances of the present case because, inter alia, the relief been included (a) the preservation of documents, and (b) information needed to enable the Court to determine whether the suspected wrongdoing has in fact occurred and to seek appropriate relief. Norwich Pharmacal relief was necessary to present a substantive claim and so the usual method of obtaining evand, if so, ngle on foreign proceedings was not in real world terms available. 138. The Defendants' alternative submission that wilfully evading a foreign arbitral award or judgment does not qualify as wrongdoing (so that that this Court had no jurisdiction to grant Norwich Pharmacal relief) is also rejected. Equitable relief may be given in aid of foreign claims and a sufficient jurisdictional connection with the Cayman Islands exists since the Defendants are domiciled here. 139. The Defendants' further alternative submission that the NPO should be set aside or varied because it is oppressive and overly broad is rejected in part and accepted in part. Subject to hearing counsel on the form of the Order, the NPO is varied to the following extent: (1) the date "March 1, 2015" is substituted for the date now set out in paragraph 4(a) and (b) of Schedule B; 190329 in the Matter of Arcelor Mittal US LLC v Essar Global Fund Limited-FSD 2 of 2019 (UK) Ruling to set aside or vary Ex Parte Order58 ```
