Complete Retreats Liquidating Trust v Logue & Ors [2010] EWHC 1864 (Ch) (23 July 2010)

The freezing order was discharged because the applicant committed a series of serious and material breaches of the duty of full and fair disclosure, presenting a misleading and prejudicial case to the court. The breaches were not marginal and cumulatively justified discharge of the order. Additionally, no real risk of dissipation was established, and the applicant failed to demonstrate a good arguable case on the merits.
