Mareva injunction






Mareva injunction

An injunction issued by the courts of the United Kingdom and other British Commonwealth countries, on the motion of a plaintiff at the beginning of or during a suit, enjoining the defendant from removing from the jurisdiction, and/or from dealing with, specified assets (real or personal, moveable or immoveable), in cases where it appears to the court that without the grant of such an injunction, the plaintiff's recovery on his claim will be jeopardized.
