The proprietary injunction was granted because the plaintiff demonstrated a serious issue to be tried, effective tracing of sale proceeds to assets in Hong Kong, and that the balance of convenience and justice required preservation of the status quo; the defendant's evidence was materially unsatisfactory, disclosure was incomplete and raised risk of dissipation, and the defendant failed to justify withdrawal of frozen funds for living or legal expenses; costs consequently awarded to the plaintiff with a summary assessment.
