    HCA1479/2009

    The plaintiff failed to demonstrate good reason to suppose, on the balance of the available evidence at the interlocutory stage, that the assets of The Magical 2000 Trust were, in substantive reality, controlled by the 1st Defendant or otherwise susceptible to a procedure that would lead to satisfaction of a judgment against him; the trustee HSBTIL is a genuine independent trustee and the documents and transactions relied upon by the plaintiff were insufficient, singly or cumulatively, to meet the higher threshold required to extend the Mareva injunction to trust assets.
