1.
Defendants Citco Fund Services (Europe) B.V., Citco (Canada) Inc., Citco Bank
Nederland N.V. Dublin Branch, Citco Global Custody N.V., Citco Fund Services (Bermuda)
Limited, and The Citco Group Limited (collectively, the “Citco Defendants”), by their attorneys
Brown and Heller, P.A., submit this Application for the Issuance of a Letter of Request, pursuant
to Section 27(Q) of the Bermuda Evidence Act 1905 (as amended) and Order 70 of the Bermuda
Rules of the Supreme Court 1985, to The Supreme Court of Bermuda, Hamilton, Bermuda. This
application is submitted in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 28(b)(2) and 28 U.S.C. § 1781.
2.
The Citco Defendants’ proposed Letter of Request is attached to this Application.
3.
The Citco Defendants’ proposed Letter of Request seeks deposition testimony and
document production from an individual currently residing in Bermuda. As explained in the
Citco Defendants’ proposed Letter of Request, the individual, Scott Watson-Brown, is a partner
with the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers (Bermuda) Ltd. (“PwC Bermuda”). As an
auditor with PwC Bermuda, Mr. Watson-Brown provided assistance to certain defendants in this
action in connection with their audits of the funds at issue. In particular, Mr. Watson-Brown
participated in, and reported on, meetings with Bernard L. Madoff held at the offices of Bernard
L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.
4.
Accordingly, and for the reasons described more fully in the Citco Defendants’
proposed Letter of Request, the Citco Defendants submit that the proposed Letter of Request is
just and appropriate, and respectfully request that this Court issue such Letter of Request.
5.
The Citco Defendants respectfully request that the Court signs and affixes the
Court’s seal to the proposed Letter of Request, notifies the Citco Defendants’ counsel that the
Court has executed the Letter of Request, and returns the Letter of Request to counsel for the
Citco Defendants. The Citco Defendants’ local counsel in Bermuda will then submit the Letter
of Request to Bermuda’s Central Authority.
