    On 29 May 1999 the Vessel was still owned by GP Company; the permanent Cyprus register and the Bill of Sale/Sale Deed evidence demonstrated that title did not pass to BB Company until 1 July 1999; a provisional Belize registration does not defeat reliable documentary proof to the contrary; accordingly the Court had jurisdiction in rem and the defendants' motion to set aside the Writ and discharge the arrest failed.
