Hamza Lakhany v Danyaal Hasan

Hamza Lakhany v Danyaal Hasan

The worldwide freezing injunction was discharged because the claimant failed to meet the duty of full and frank disclosure, did not fairly present material facts, and did not establish a real risk of asset dissipation. The property in question was not under the defendant's control, and the claimant's representations were misleading. The notice requirements under CPR were not properly satisfied, and the order extended beyond what was justified by the evidence.
