The plaintiff, YMCA, brought an ex parte motion to amend its Statement of Claim, obtain a Mareva injunction, and issue Certificates of Pending Litigation against multiple defendants.

The plaintiff alleged it was the victim of a $2.2 million fraud involving a government training program, where an employee conspired with various training companies to process fraudulent applications and receive kickbacks.

The court granted the amendment to the pleadings and issued the Mareva injunction against all defendants except one, finding a strong prima facie case of fraud and a real risk of asset dissipation.

The court also granted Certificates of Pending Litigation for properties where the plaintiff traced the stolen funds, but denied it for a property purchased before the fraud occurred.

The applicant brought an unopposed motion to extend an existing Norwich Order and broaden its scope to include the personal bank accounts of several individuals.

The applicant alleged it was the victim of a $2.2 million fraud involving a government training program and required the banking records to trace misappropriated funds.

The court found the applicant provided sufficient evidence connecting the additional individuals to the alleged fraud and that the banks were the only practical source of the information.

The motion was granted, extending the order and compelling the production of the requested personal accounts.
