prior orders of the court, was only required when the vessel was operating and as it is no longer able to be operated, Olympic is therefore not required, pursuant to those orders, to effect in

2002 appears to have been intended to enable the business venture to continue to function pending the outcome of the litigation. \par \par The situation is now somewhat different in that the vessel is inoperative and requires expenditure estimated by Ocean, to be in the order of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $200,000.00), to enable the vessel to be repaired to a state that would make it capable of operation. \par \par There would appear to be no conflict with the orders of the 28}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid7099231\charrsid3867935

finalization of the litigation. \par \par It would however seem to be inappropriate for the court to embark on any consideration as to the standing of the Demise Charter Agreement when the status of that document has been con sidered by Mr. Justice Byrne in his earlier ruling and is the subject of appeal to the Fiji Court of Appeal. \par \par It is argued that the vessel can only be properly
