LISBON, April 28 (Reuters) - A Portuguese court hasprovisionally suspended a central bank decision to transfer somebonds from state-rescued Novo Banco to 'bad bank' BES, courtdocuments showed on Thursday, in a step that could complicatethe sale of the lender.
The Bank of Portugal rushed to challenge the provisionaldecision, which it said in a statement would not affect the NovoBanco assets position.
The transfer of bonds ordered by the central bank in late2015 has prompted a storm of complaints by investors since BES,a 'bad bank' holding toxic assets, is being wound down.
'There has been no definitive decision by the court,' thecentral bank said, adding that it had 10 days to respond to theinjunction, which had been issued at the request of MerrillLynch.
'The Lisbon administrative court provisionally issued aprecautionary injunction concerning one series of bonds(PTBENKM0012), without hearing the Bank of Portugal's position,'it said. 'The Bank of Portugal respects the provisionaldecision, but will immediately request that it be lifted.'
The judge's decision, however, explicitly told the Bank ofPortugal to make the transfer of bonds back to Novo Banco.
'I provisionally decree a precautionary measure determiningthe transfer of the bonds back to Novo Banco from Banco EspiritoSanto (BES),' read the judge's decision, according to the courtdocument seen by Reuters.
The transfer in December of 1.985 billion euros ($2.25billion) of bonds had boosted Novo Banco's balance sheet. TheBank of Portugal is trying to sell Novo Banco after the firstattempt to find a buyer and recover billions of euros of rescuefunds injected into the lender failed last year.
Two sources in the financial sector said the Bank ofPortugal would most likely invoke the so-called public interestclause, which in similar cases in the past has been enough toannul such injunctions.

The bond transfer was made to help Novo Banco, which wascreated from BES in August 2014 after a 4.9 billion euro rescue,plug a 1.4 billion euro hole that was identified last year inthe bank's capital by the European Central Bank.
An attempt to sell Novo Banco last year failed after bidscame in too low. The central bank relaunched the sale processearlier this year.
