Mr Justice Peel :
1.I shall refer to the Applicant Husband as “H” and to the Respondent Wife as “W”. 2.On 12 October 2022, H, through the parties’ solicitors, gave 1 hour’s notice that he intended to apply to the Urgent Applications Judge, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, for a freezing injunction. The application was framed in that way, rather than pursuant to s37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, because it sought to restrain W from dealing with, inter alia, her overseas assets. The application, supported by a narrative statement from H, came before Morgan J that afternoon, who refused to make the immediate order sought. Instead, she gave directions and relisted the application on 19 October 2022 before, as it turned out, me. Pursuant to her directions, H filed a supplemental statement, and W filed a statement in reply. As it was once again in the Urgent Applications list, and there was insufficient time for me to deal with it substantively, I adjourned to 25 October 2022 before me for determination. I made one specific direction, for an exchange of letters setting out concisely each party’s financial position. By the time of this hearing, H had modified his position such that he sought orders in respect of W’s assets in this jurisdiction only. W resists the application. This is my judgment, which I reserved for a short time after hearing submissions.
