43. Freezing Injunctions

This chapter discusses the rules on freezing injunctions. A freezing injunction is an interim order restraining a party from removing assets located within the jurisdiction out of the country, or from dealing with assets whether they are located within the jurisdiction or not. The order is usually restricted to assets not exceeding the value of the claim. The main purpose of a freezing injunction is to prevent the injustice of a defendant’s assets being salted away so as to deprive the claimant of the fruits of any judgment that may be obtained.

5 Hearing the Petition and Making the Order

The chapter observes the hearing of winding-up petitions and making orders. Winding up by the court involves a determination of a civil right within the meaning of the European Convention on Human Rights, art 6(1) (right to a fair trial). A winding-up petition is normally heard by an Insolvency and Companies Court (ICC) judge or a district judge. The court hearing a petition for the compulsory winding up of a company has a discretion to hear anyone who can assist the court, as advocate to the court. A foreign creditor has the same rights regarding participation in proceedings as creditors in Great Britain. On hearing a winding-up petition the court may, at its discretion, dismiss it, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order, or any other order that it thinks fit. The court may order the winding up of a company on application made by petition under IA 1986, s 124.

Minimum standards in the European Account Preservation Order

The article is devoted to minimum standards in the new procedural instrument - the European Account Preservation Order. The main purpose of the preservation proceeding is to grant an interim order of creditor’s claim on debtor assets, without overburdening his property. Due to the complicated procedure established by Regulation (EU) No 655/2014, the European Account Preservation Order should serve as an additional and optional measure for the creditor, the examination of the minimum standards is essential. The Author indicates the relation between above-mentioned regulation and other regulations and gives explanation why this instrument is another symptom of the new EU legislator's approach to cross-border civil matters. Since the debtor is a person whose interests are most affected by the preservation on the bank account, it is necessary to specify his rights and obligations in this proceedings.
