On the without‑notice application the applicant's affidavits supported an inference that the respondent was likely to make dispositions of relationship property to defeat a claim; the risk of overseas removal of gold and funds and the absence of prejudice from freezing (orders simply 'freeze' assets and do not determine substantive rights) justified interim restraining orders under s43, while discovery without notice was refused and substituted service was ordered for the overseas respondent.
