May 1990 and an application to the District Court in

New York in July 1991 wherein depositions from formal

banking witnesses were suppressed until served upon

Osman's lawyers and an opportunity afforded to them to

cross-examine the witnesses. Currently Osman has

outstanding collateral proceedings in the United States

of America wherein he seeks a further order that

banking evidence not be remitted to Hong Kong. He also

has outstanding in Hong Kong an application to the Hiya

Court to quash orders of a Hong Kong magistrate that he

be remanded in custody, it being his contention that

the magistrate was biased against him.

It is pertinent to note that in the course of

proceedings before the Divisional Court in the United

Kingdom, Osman sought to rely upon copies of documents,

which he claimed supported his case. It is the Crown's

case that these documents were forgeries. Osman made

these documents available to Saniman's lawyers and it

is our belief that this material may have played a part

in the French Government's decision not to act upon the

recommendations of the French courts.
