London gambling centre Aspinalls Club has launched a legal action against Westpac seeking to force the bank to honour two cheques signed by Chia. The other parties to the action are the Director of Public Prosecutions, who has mounted an action to seize the proceeds of crime, and the Official Trustee, which is holding some funds and wants to know what to do with them. John Sheahan, SC, for Westpac told the court yesterday it was premature to set a hearing date for the three matters until the outcome of tomorrow's application was determined.
