The application to discharge the interlocutory injunctions was dismissed because the events in New York did not constitute a sufficient change of circumstances to overturn the prior balance of justice: the Plaintiffs would suffer serious and irreparable injury if the injunctions were discharged, whereas the Bank can reasonably obtain stays and appeals in the US so its immediate jeopardy is not decisive; fortification is not warranted and the court will resist foreign sanctions intended to pressure it.
