The Family Court has jurisdiction under the PRA to make interim mandatory interlocutory orders against a New Zealand domiciled party to preserve movable property situated overseas; rule 182 provides a broad procedural basis for such mandatory relief and is not limited by rule 184 (which governs freezing orders confined to assets in New Zealand); accordingly the mandatory injunction ordering transfer of specified overseas-held funds into a New Zealand stakeholder was lawful, but the Court varied the stakeholder to the Registrar of the Family Court to ensure neutrality.
