The court applied established equitable principles: a prohibitory freezing-type injunction requires a real risk of dissipation which was not established on the material before the court; where that risk is not shown, a less intrusive notification injunction can adequately protect the petitioner's interests without causing disproportionate prejudice. Consequently the balance of convenience favored granting a notification requirement rather than broad prohibitory relief.
