Given the applicant's evidence of the respondent's prior concealment of assets, the respondent's conviction and admission concerning the restrained cash, and the risk the respondent could sell or refinance the jointly owned property, the Court was satisfied there were reasonable grounds to believe the property was tainted and that without‑notice restraint was necessary; accordingly restraining orders under s 24 were granted for three months.
