Mareva Injunction :

Also known as a “freezing order” or “asset protection order” is a court order providing for the freezing of a defendant’s assets in order to prevent them from being disposed of or moved outside the jurisdiction of the court. The application for a Mareva Injunction is almost always made ex-partei to a judge in order to maintain secrecy. It is often accompanied by an order that provides for a party to provide documents or other information such that an allegation can be proven.
