<p>The Terrorist Asset Freezing etc. Act (2010) and UN asset freezing measures against
ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida (2011) provide the mechanisms for the assets of a person,
including funds in any bank accounts, to be frozen. An asset freeze is only applied
where the relevant legal tests have been met. The number of accounts frozen under
these measures at the end of each calendar year are as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017
(to date)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>90</p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>79</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>41</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source:
