ABSTRACT
Freezing order was made at a hearing without notice to the Respondent. The Respondent has a right to apply to the court to vary or discharge the order – Anyone served with or notified of this order may apply to the Court at any time to vary or discharge this order, but they must first inform the Applicant's solicitors. If any evidence is to be relied upon in support of the application, the substance of it must be communicated in writing to the Applicant's solicitors in advance. Careful consideration should be given to ensuring that this period is realistic having regard to the nature and volume of information that may be involved. It is not acceptable to invite the Court to impose unrealistic time limits, and costs orders may be made where this results in the party subject to the order having to bring the matter back before a Judge.
