The applicant sought to recognize and enforce Mareva and Norwich orders issued by the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench against a former employee alleged to have perpetrated a significant fraud.
The orders restrained the respondent from disposing of assets and required third parties, including a bank in Toronto, to disclose account information.
The Superior Court of Justice granted the application, emphasizing the principle of comity and the routine enforcement of out-of-province orders where the originating court properly exercised its jurisdiction.
