Haastrup & Anor v Haastrup & Anor

Haastrup & Anor v Haastrup & Anor

There was no arguable ground for appeal as the Deputy Judge correctly continued the freezing injunction and the associated disclosure obligation on an interlocutory basis to preserve the assets pending resolution of the underlying dispute. The attempt to separate the obligation to provide information from the continuation of the injunction was misconceived.
