What this session will cover

Delve into the evolution of these powerful legal tools, exploring international cooperation and the development of freezing orders in non-traditional jurisdictions.

Join us for an engaging and insightful seminar as we celebrate 50 years of Freezing Injunctions – a cornerstone moment in asset recovery.

With the benefit of contributions from panellists who have been at the forefront of the jurisdiction since its inception, we will delve into the evolution of these powerful legal tools, exploring international cooperation and the development of freezing orders in non-traditional jurisdictions and tackling practical considerations, from effective cross-border enforcement and general policing challenges and addressing the ongoing issues of the balance between access to justice and the potential for abuse.

We will also look to the future including the complexities of recognition and enforcement abroad in a post-Brexit world, the development of the persons unknown jurisdiction and the operating gateways.
