65In the present case, it is apparent from the file before the Court that the purpose of the interim garnishee order, the lifting of which was applied for in the action for interim relief in the main proceedings, was to ensure the protection of the claims arising from a legal relationship of a contractual nature, namely the BOAs concluded between SHAPE and the Supreme companies. The BOAs, although they concern the supply of fuel to SHAPE for a military operation directed by NATO for the purposes of peace-keeping and security in Afghanistan, are the basis, between the parties to the main proceedings, of a legal relationship governed by private law under which those parties freely took on rights and obligations.
