Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have the court order now, but what I have is an injunction which was issued by Justice Azagalala in March 2006 requiring that the status quo of the 1999 Transport and Storage Agreement be preserved pending the solution of the dispute between KPC and the Kenya Kobil. The injunction is in force to date pending termination of the application reference.
