Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (c.24). It revokes the Landsbanki Freezing Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/2668) and the Landsbanki Freezing (Amendment) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/2766).

The Landsbanki Freezing Order 2008 imposed an asset freeze in relation to the Icelandic bank, Landsbanki Islands hf. The Landsbanki Freezing (Amendment) Order 2008 made minor amendments to the Freezing Order. By revoking those Orders, this Order lifts the asset freeze.
