In Abuhamda v. Abuhamda, 236 AD2d 290, 290, 654 N.Y.S.2d 11 [1st Dept 1997], the plaintiff sued his father, who had transferred money in a bank account from a branch in New York to a branch in Amman, Jordan. The Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the lower court's preliminary injunction directing the bank, in effect, to freeze the account in Jordan. The Appellate Division, First Department held that the court properly directed a bank "which engages in business in this State and is clearly subject to its jurisdiction, to refrain from paying out funds that are currently in one of its accounts, albeit one not physically located in New York." (Abuhamda, 236 AD2d at 290.)
