Two recent Court of Appeal decisions give useful guidance for claimants seeking freezing orders
In the recent high-profile cases of Euro Telecom International (ETI) v Republic of Bolivia & Anor [2008] and Mobil Cerro Negro v Petroleos de Venezuela [2008], the English Court granted freezing orders in support of foreign proceedings in order to protect the position of the claimant until an all-parties hearing could be convened. In both cases, the freezing orders were discharged at the subsequent all-parties hearings.
