| Course Outline: |
This presentation sets out to explore both the Hong Kong and English case law on freezing injunctions. It focuses predominately on the mareva injunction - from the earlier days after its invention to the very present, when there are emerging an increasing number of decisions which showcase its utility as a pre-emptive relief available here to litigants in foreign proceedings. In the practical session participants will have the opportunity to consider a case study and review draft documentation for the application of a worldwide mareva injunction. |
