Freezing Orders and Injunctions can be an extreme measure that the courts will not grant lightly. They tend to be expensive and carry financial risks due to the requirement that you give an undertaking to pay for costs incurred in complying with the Order as well as potential liability for damages if the Order is later discharged.
Furthermore, it is important to remember that a Freezing Order will not necessarily resolve a divorce financial dispute overnight. For example, even if a global Freezing Order is made, until it is recognised by the foreign courts that have jurisdiction over the assets, it may be unenforceable.
Therefore, the advice of a solicitor who specialises in complex financial matters is essential to ensure you are taking the right step by making an Injunction application and to minimise the risk of any financial loss.
