3VB members contribute to The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigations - Tenth Edition
Saima Hanif KC, Tom Rainsbury, Ryan Ferro, and Clarissa Jones, all esteemed barristers at 3VB, have co-authored an insightful article titled "Injunctive Relief in Investigations: The UK Perspective." This article delves into the critical role of interim injunctive relief in UK investigations, a measure often sought by regulatory or law enforcement authorities in urgent circumstances before court proceedings are initiated. The article explores various forms of relief, including asset freezing orders, compelled disclosure orders, and search orders, while also addressing the procedural considerations that arise when applications are made without notice or in private.
The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the general principles relevant to such relief, identifies specific statutory injunctions and common issues encountered in practice, and concludes with a comparison to commercial injunctions and practical guidance for those served with investigative injunctions. It is available to readers of the Global Investigations Review (GIR) for free, as part of the Tenth Edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigations.
This edition of the Guide serves as a practical resource for external and in-house counsel, compliance officers, and accounting practitioners. It features chapters written by leading experts from around the world, offering valuable insights into the legal and procedural aspects of investigations in the United Kingdom and the United States. Part II of the Guide presents a unique collection of insights from local specialists across major jurisdictions, who respond to a comprehensive set of questions designed to highlight key local nuances in cross-border investigations.
The article can be read in full on the Global Investigations Review website, providing an in-depth analysis of the UK perspective on injunctive relief in investigations. For further exploration of this topic, readers are encouraged to visit the GIR website and access the Tenth Edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigations.
