The plaintiffs brought an ex parte motion seeking a Mareva injunction, an interim order for the recovery of personal property, an order freezing assets, and leave to issue a Certificate of Pending Litigation (CPL) against the defendants.
The motion alleged extensive fraud, conversion, and other torts by the primary defendant, Yueh-Tang Yang, involving millions of dollars and real estate, and a serious risk of asset dissipation.
The court granted most of the requested relief, finding a prima facie case of fraud and a demonstrated risk of asset dissipation, satisfying the criteria for the extraordinary remedies sought.
