ABSTRACT
Some respondents never intend that ancillary relief orders will be made against them or, even if they are, that such orders will never be successfully enforced. However, the powers of the court would be empty if respondents to financial applications could get away with such schemes. If a party entitled to ancillary relief suspects such a situation to exist or that it might arise, urgent steps can be taken to prevent assets being moved out of the jurisdiction (or in any way put beyond the applicant’s reach, for example, by their being transferred into the names of third parties).
