Freeze Or I'll... Make An Application For A Freezing Order

Interim freezing injunctions are commonly used in Guernsey when an applicant wishes to prevent the respondent from disposing of or dealing with assets. These injunctions operate in personam, meaning they compel the respondent (along with parties who are placed on notice) to refrain from taking steps that could serve to dissipate or transfer the assets in question.

Interim Injunctions

The Royal Court of Guernsey has the power to grant an interim injunction at any time before it makes a final judgment under section 1(1) of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Guernsey) Law, 1987 (the LRMP Law). Injunctions of this type are commonly sought to preserve assets during proceedings, ensuring that any future judgment is not frustrated by the dissipation of assets.
