Lincoln Caylor: UK Appeals Court Puts New Limits On Notification Injunctions

In a prior post for the FCPA Blog, I wrote about the notification injunction granted by the High Court in Holyoake & Anor v Candy & Ors. The case was recently overturned by the England and Wales Court of Appeal, and the notification injunction ordered against the Candy brothers set aside.

On April 8, 2016, Nugee J. granted an injunction to prevent the brothers from dealing with, disposing of, or otherwise engaging in transactions with their assets, where the value exceeded £1 million ($1.25 million), without providing written notice to Holyoake's solicitors. Thus, a notification injunction.

The court adjourned the remainder of the application, deferring the balance of convenience assessment and the precise form of the order to a second hearing.
