`right to apply to the Court to vary or discharge the order (see
`paragraph 11 below).
`
`2. There shall be a further hearing in relation to this application for the
`purpose of directions, to be listed on 18 January 2019 with a time

`Order Motion so far as it is pursued for the purposes of seeking
`the in personam relief identified in the Indicative Assignment
`Order Ruling, (ii) the Turnover Order Application, and (iii) the First
`and Second Limited Remand Motions (save for the purposes of
`withdrawing those motions/applications, moving to stay them or
`otherwise seeking to have action on such application held in
`abeyance). (For the avoidance of doubt, this order shall not
`prevent the pursuit of the Assignment Order Motion so far as it is
`confined to in rem relief as granted by the In Rem Assignment
`Order.)
`
`b. Seek to obtain from the USDC, or any other court of the USA

`future be owed to WPL. For the avoidance of doubt, the

`iii. Relief which expands or amends or varies the In Rem
`Assignment Order to have in personam effects of the kinds
`identified in paragraph 3(c)(ii) above. This encompasses
`adjustments or modifications to any prior order or ruling to
`impose such a requirement.
`
