Civil Litigation

Dadourian Group International Inc v Simms [2006] EWCA Civ 1745, [2006] All ER (D) 305 (Dec)

The court should not shrink from enabling a party who has obtained a freezing order to use the information obtained under the freezing order for contempt proceedings if that is necessary to protect that party’s position. The court is not required to find that exceptional circumstances exist before it gives permission. The test is whether it is just and convenient for that information to be used for the purpose of enforcing or policing the freezing order.
