 he believes that the agreement was entered into by the parties after the D1's Receivership in order to defeat the claim of D1 and or its creditors to the vessel for the reasons, inter alia, that the vessel B5 is registered with the Marine Dep
artment as being owned by D1 and because of D1's director Glen Cupit\rquote s friendship with directors of the plaintiff they entered into an arrangement to build the vessel and to pay for the vessel.
\par

No reason was advanced why Mr. Wade allowed the vessel to be registered in D1's name if D1 was not the beneficial owner of the vessel.
\par 
\par He says that the plaintiff had only a nominal role in this whole transaction in that it only facilitated a loan from ANZ Bank to help Glen Cupit and D1 to obtain finance.

There is no tangible evidence by the plaintiff to show that the vessel was actually owned by them.

Evidently, ANZ Bank advanced the moneys to build the vessel and the plaintiff took the responsibility for payment of the loan in respect of it and hence the Master Lease Agreement between ANZ Bank and the plaintiff as \'93Bank\'94 and \'93Lessee\'94
 respectively (Annexure RW3 to Wades\rquote s affidavit).

It is very difficult to say as to who has a greater say over the vessel on the evidence so far before me.
\par 
\par However, I do bear in mind that at this stage on an application for injunction I do not have to go into the merits of the case.}{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6695640  }{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid11876213\charrsid16743004
