Counsel: Andrew Bodnar instructed by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP for the Claimant.
Zafar Ali QC and Ryan Hawthorne instructed by Stephenson Harwood (Middle East) LLP for the Defendant.
Transcribed from the oral judgment delivered on 24 March 2015, revised and approved by the Judge Judge .
This is an application by the Defendant, David Lawrence Haigh, to vary a freezing order that had been issued by the Deputy Chief Justice Chief Justice in June 2014 whereby the Defendant was restrained from disposing of his assets save in excess of US$ 5 million. The freezing order was accompanied by a search order in regard to the Defendant’s apartment in Dubai which was one of the identified assets within the body of the order.
The hearing took place in the absence of Mr Haigh who is presently in custody. It appears that despite attempts by his legal representatives to obtain his temporary release from custody to attend court, that has not proved possible.
