What is a freezing injunction<\/a>? In simple terms, it’s a powerful legal tool allowing an Applicant (typically the Claimant) to safeguard the value of the Respondent\u2019s assets until a judgment is obtained against them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon initial success<\/a> of the application, the court vontade<\/a> order that the Respondent\u2019s assets cannot be disposed of, dealt with, or diminished. This order will then be relayed by the Applicant to major banks, prompting them to freeze any accounts held under the Respondent\u2019s name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na maioria dos casos, o pedido de medida cautelar de congelamento e a audi\u00eancia inicial decorrem sem a presen\u00e7a ou o conhecimento do requerido. Posteriormente, a ordem de congelamento \u00e9 notificada ao requerido, normalmente ap\u00f3s o congelamento das contas e de outros bens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como superar uma medida de congelamento de bens <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante a audi\u00eancia inicial de pedido, \u00e0 qual o requerido normalmente n\u00e3o comparece, o juiz marca uma nova audi\u00eancia, geralmente 1 a 2 semanas depois, denominada Data de devolu\u00e7\u00e3o<\/em>. Isto d\u00e1 ao requerido a oportunidade de contestar a medida cautelar de bloqueio e de apresentar argumentos a favor do seu levantamento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A anula\u00e7\u00e3o de uma medida cautelar de congelamento depende de v\u00e1rios fatores cr\u00edticos, que s\u00e3o frequentemente essenciais para a anula\u00e7\u00e3o da medida: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- A\u00e7\u00e3o Imediata<\/strong>: O tempo \u00e9 essencial, uma vez que restam apenas alguns dias at\u00e9 \u00e0 Data de Devolu\u00e7\u00e3o. Por isso, \u00e9 fundamental recorrer imediatamente a um representante legal. Contestar uma medida cautelar de congelamento \u00e9 um processo complexo, pelo que \u00e9 essencial procurar rapidamente a assist\u00eancia de advogados competentes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Full and Frank Disclosure<\/a><\/strong>: Since the Respondent cannot defend themselves initially, the Applicant must provide full and frank disclosure of any evidence<\/a> during the first hearing. Scrutinising the application documents<\/a> meticulously for evidence of full and frank disclosure or lack thereof is essential. Non-compliance with this duty can be grounds for the freezing injunction to be discharged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Demonstra\u00e7\u00e3o de um baixo risco de dissipa\u00e7\u00e3o de ativos<\/strong>: A medida cautelar de congelamento \u00e9 frequentemente concedida com base na exist\u00eancia de um risco de dissipa\u00e7\u00e3o de ativos. No entanto, a apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o de provas em contr\u00e1rio pode influenciar a decis\u00e3o do tribunal. Fatores como um bom historial de cr\u00e9dito, a apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o atempada das contas e uma estrutura empresarial transparente podem refor\u00e7ar o seu caso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 N\u00e3o existe um \u2018caso bem fundamentado\u2019<\/strong>: Se, na data de reexame, conseguir demonstrar que o pedido subjacente do requerente carece de fundamento e que \u00e9 improv\u00e1vel que prospere em tribunal, ter\u00e1 um argumento s\u00f3lido a favor do levantamento da medida cautelar de congelamento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Adiar a data de compar\u00eancia, se necess\u00e1rio<\/strong>: 1 – 2 weeks will often not be long enough for you to be fully prepared for the Return Date hearing. You only get one chance at the Return Date hearing, if you are unsuccessful, you will need to show in any future application to discharge the injunction that there has been a material change in circumstances since the Return Date.  Often the time provided by the Court for the Return Date will be insufficient if the parties are to argue whether the freezing injunction should continue. Requesting an adjournment to a later date can provide adicional<\/a> time to address the accusations made by the Applicant effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing Injun\u00e7\u00f5es<\/a>: Damages <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Applicant will need to provide the court with an undertaking (promise) to pay any damages incurred as a result of the freezing injunction, should the freezing injunction be discharged at the return date or trial. It is therefore crucial to keep accurate records of losses incurred, such as loss of business<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
