This authoritative book analyses the principles and practice relating to freezing and search orders. It explains their application to third parties against whom no substantive relief is sought and against overseas assets where serious jurisdictional problems arise. It also identifies the hazards, the potential oppression and prejudice to respondents, the invasion of their privacy, the consequential limitations on such orders and the safeguards, which should be built into them. It addresses the respondent's right as well to privilege against self-incrimination and the sanction of contempt of court proceedings. Given that these remedies are so important and commonplace, Freezing and Search Orders 3rd Edition will again be an invaluable resource to all legal practitioners.
