Citation

SUZANNE RUTH HENDERSON v. SCOTT HENDERSON
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1780/2013

The court continued the Mareva injunction as a stop-gap, maintaining the freeze of CAD803,610.50 and prohibiting the defendant from withdrawing any part of his salary/income from his bank account pending determination of the summons, finding no substantial prejudice to the defendant given evidence of prior withdrawals likely to sustain him until the end of September 2014.
