I have already outlined the harm, loss or prejudice that each party alleges it is likely to suffer. I have no hesitation in concluding that were I to refuse the application and the appeal is successful the Respondent will suffer considerable irreparable fin a ncial loss if funds were repatriated in the meantime. Furthermore if the Applicant decides not to repatriate the funds and awaits the decision in the Court of Appeal then he would face the prospect of criminal prosecution. Such a prosecution could have se r ious implications on the integrity of the company as well as the directors even if they were acquitted ultimately. In addition, there is considerable merit in the Applicant's argument that once funds are brought into Fiji they will thereafter clearly come under the Reserve Bank's jurisdiction even if the Court of }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid342767 Appeal subsequently holds in fav}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8192087\charrsid10377535 our of the Respondent that these funds whilst in London did not come under the control of the Foreign Exchange Act. This could mean an appreciable reversal of fortun es for the Respondent from the point of view of a meaningful investment. If the Applicant loses its appeal there is no doubt that a much larger sum will ultimately be brought into Fiji and this will benefit both the Applicant and the country as a whole. A s to the claim that there is likely to be some tax loss to Fiji by reason of U.K.'s entitlement to exact 10}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid342767 % withholding tax (for which Fij}{ \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8192087\charrsid10377535 i has to give}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid342767 }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8192087\charrsid10377535 credit) it must be borne in mind that a Double Tax Agreement is, by its very nature, a two way traffic s o that, to use a colloquial expression, what a country loses in the swings it could make up in the roundabouts. In short, U.K. residents earning income in Fiji will also be paying withholding tax in Fiji. In any case any tax loss in Fiji by reason of the 1 0% withholding tax in U.K. will, to some extent, be offset by the Applicant paying a larger tax in Fiji because it is earning substantially larger interest in U.K. than it could in Fiji. Furthermore there is no risk to the funds since the Applicant has gi ven an undertaking that it will retain the funds at the Westpac in London.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8192087 \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid342767\charrsid10377535 \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8192087\charrsid10377535 As regards prejudice to public interest by prolonging the alleged illegal state of affairs I am clearly of the view that the present litigation has not been undertaken to avoid crim inal prosecution. If the Applicant fails in its appeal the Respondent will not be deprived of any right of prosecution direct or indirect that he may have under the Exchange Control Act. Furthermore the Applicant is not challenging the validity of the Exc hange Control Act. What is in issue basically is its applicability to the Applicant's Rinds in London.
