Matthew Hoyle has written a note for Practical Law on litigating civil fraud in the English courts, from pre-action to post-judgment. The note draws on his experience in the high-profile civil fraud and contempt of court matters he has been involved in during his practice (including ENRC v Dechert, SKAT v Solo Capital Partners and Deutsche Bank v Alexander Vik) and covers a variety of important issues for civil fraud practitioners including the new ‘information order’ gateways for service out of the jurisdiction, the new PD57AD disclosure regime and recent changes to practice in respect of freezing and search orders. It also takes account of the updates in the 11th edition of the Commercial Court Guide.
A pdf copy of the note can be accessed here. The note is maintained and will be periodically updated – this version is accessible to Thomson Reuters Practical Law subscribers.
Matthew has previously written a note for Practice Law on pleading and providing foreign law in the English courts. For a link to that note, please see here.
