ENGLAND AND WALES: HIGH COURT SETS OUT RULES FOR GRANTING UNEXPLAINED WEALTH ORDERS AND INTERIM FREEZING ORDERS

On 2 March, STEP reported that the England and Wales High Court has stated a series of general principles setting out when it will grant unexplained wealth orders (UWO) and interim freezing orders (IFO), both of which can be applied to foreign individuals as well as UK residents.  The set of principles enunciated by the Court appear in NCA v Hussain (2020 EWHC 432 Admin), it says, a case which deals with UK organised crime, but they also apply to foreign targets of UWO.
