24/6/13
UL v BK [2013] EWHC 1735 (Fam)
Reviews principles applicable to the grant of freezing orders, including the need to provide solid evidence of a risk of dissipation in the sense of an unjustified dealing with assets. Considers when applications may be made without notice, and the need for cross-undertakings in damages. Explains that documents unlawfully obtained by copying without permission must not be read by a solicitor but should be returned to the owner. By failing to disclose the fact that documents had been unlawfully obtained, the applicant had breached the duty of candour required of applicants for freezing orders.
