Civil Procedure

This resource details various proceedings that may come in handy before trial.

This book deals with two effective civil litigation tools used in cases of fraud. A Mareva injunction, also referred to as an "asset preservation order," is a court order that prevents or limits a defendant from dealing with or disposing of some or all of his assets. The Anton Piller order, or "search order" or "evidence preservation order," allows a plaintiff to search the defendant's home or business to seize and preserve documents and other evidence. The order has been likened to a "civil search warrant." The book also provides an overview of the preservation of property rules that exist in all Canadian jurisdictions.

This guide is aimed at legal professionals who need to know about commercial injunctions such as Mareva, Anton Piller and Norwich orders. It takes the reader from the definition of an injunction to the sentencing that follows the breach or non-respect of an order. It covers national content from all Canadian provinces as well as international decisions from the United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong.
