What is a freezing order?
A freezing order is an injunction from the court that prevents a person from accessing or disposing of their personal or business assets. These could include bank accounts, shares, investments, property and land etc. It is typically enforced in order to prevent a defendant from disposing of their assets before a judgement has been made on a separate case.
What you should do if your named in a freezing order?
If you have been named in a freezing order, you are likely to be shocked and stressed due to the unexpected nature of the injunction, as quite often, freezing orders are given without any notice being given to the defendant. However, if you do not adhere to the terms of the order, the consequences could be much greater. Once you have received a freezing order you must:
- Contact a solicitor who is experienced in freezing cases
- Ensure you comply with the terms stated in the freezing order (any breach of the order will lead to charges of contempt of court)
- Give notice of the terms of the order to all relevant parties such as employees, banks, and any others who jointly hold assets with you or on your behalf.
- If required, disclose details of your assets honestly. This is likely to be required within a given time-scale as specified in the terms of the order.
Freezing Orders are among the most serious court orders handed out and failure to comply with the terms can be seen as contempt of court and lead to a prison sentence. It is vital that you adhere to the terms of the order and seek professional advice as soon as possible.
