SPL Private Finance (PF1) IC Ltd & Ors v Arch Financial Products LLP

SPL Private Finance (PF1) IC Ltd & Ors v Arch Financial Products LLP

The claimants established a real risk of dissipation of assets by Mr Farrell, supported by findings of dishonesty, unexplained asset transfers, and lack of adequate disclosure. The continuation of the worldwide freezing order and ancillary relief, including further disclosure, permission to seek a Guernsey freezing order, and use of disclosed documents for section 423 Insolvency Act proceedings, are justified to preserve assets for enforcement of the judgment.
