Mareva et Anton piller

These are two of the most significant civil remedies available in cases where there is wrongdoing that has caused financial losses. The Mareva Injunction, in Commonwealth jurisdictions, is a court order which freezes assets so that a defendant to an action cannot dissipate their assets from beyond the jurisdiction of a court so as to frustrate a judgment. It is widely recognised in other common law jurisdictions and such orders can be made to have world-wide effect. Named after the 1976 UK case of 'Anton Piller KG v. Manufacturing Processes', an Anton Piller order grants the right to search a suspect’s premises and seize evidence without prior notice. More precisely, it allows to : enter defendant’s offices inspect and remove items to which the plaintiff asserts a claim, mainly to prevent destruction of evidence.
