36. Court Application

If the Bank considers that it is or may be or become subject to conflicting claims in respect of funds held in an Account, the Bank may, in its absolute discretion, take such steps as it may deem necessary (including taking legal advice and making an application to the Court or other competent authority in any jurisdiction) to safeguard its interests and shall not in any event be liable for the consequences of complying with any order of any Court or other competent authority. The Bank shall be entitled, without liability to the Account Holder pending determination of any such conflicting claim, to refuse to pay or deliver to the Account Holder all or any part of the funds held in the Account or to act in any other manner that might prove to be improper upon the final determination of the conflicting claims. The Bank shall be entitled to charge the Account Holder with the amount of any legal or other costs incurred by the Bank in safeguarding its interests as aforesaid.
