35.—Section 90 (inserted by section 39 of the Act of 1996) of the Principal Act is amended by inserting the following after subsection (3):

“(4) (a) If, on application to it by the Board, the Court is satisfied—

(i) that the Board has received a request from the competent authority of another Member State (within the meaning of section 148) for assistance in prohibiting the free disposal of assets of an institution for occupational retirement provision registered or authorised in that Member State and which are held by a custodian or depositary in the State, and

(ii) that the request referred to in subparagraph (i) is appropriate and necessary to prevent or remedy any irregularities prejudicial to the interests of members and beneficiaries,

the Court may grant an injunction restraining any person from disposing of or otherwise dealing with the assets to which the application refers.

(b) If the Court grants an injunction under paragraph (a), it may by order make provision for such ancillary and consequential matters as it considers necessary or expedient to enable the competent authority that made the request to perform any of its functions in relation to the assets to which the injunction applies.”.
