Parkside’s Ernest Ng presented a webinar entitled “Asset Recovery, From Injunction to Enforcement” for an audience made up of over 20 solicitors from Lewis Silkin on 6th September.
His discussion focused on strategies for obtaining injunctions and judgments in fraud cases and he emphasised the importance of material non-disclosure. The conversation highlighted the evolving nature of fraud schemes, such as sophisticated investment fraud and the significance of obtaining judgments early to avoid costs undertakings. He also examined the challenges associated with dealing with foreign defendants.
He then shifted the discussion to cryptocurrency, homing in on the importance of determining the location of crypto for obtaining proprietary injunctions, peppering this with examples of cases from the UK. The session wrapped up with an engaging Q&A where Ernest answered questions on the advantages and disadvantages of pleading fraud and typical cost estimations and case management.
