Fortior Law obtained a worldwide freezing injunction and an accompanying disclosure order for a coal trading client from Zug, Switzerland.
The injunction was granted by Mr. Justice Knowles in the Commercial Court in London.
For an explanation of how worldwide freezing injunctions work and when they can be granted please see the QBiT video by Emily Saunderson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co70IHFf7p4
We have worked with barristers from Quadrant Chambers in multiple cases and they know what they are doing!
In our cases, Knowles J found that there was solid evidence of a risk of dissipation on the defendant’s part because the defendant’s director dissipated assets of its other company, which was (at the time of the application) being pursued in criminal proceedings in Switzerland for bankruptcy related offences and money laundering.
At the hearing of the application in Court, our client was represented by David Peters and David Walsh of Essex Court Chambers. Both are extremely effective, client-conscious and impressive advocates. Check out their profiles here:
