Ex parte application for Norwich order and Mareva injunction dismissed as disproportionate and unnecessary.
The applicant sought urgent relief in the form of a Norwich order and a Mareva injunction to recover funds allegedly lost to fraud.
The court declined to grant these extraordinary remedies, finding that the identity and location of the respondent were already known and that the circumstances did not justify such sweeping orders.
The decision emphasizes the proportionality and appropriateness of remedies, suggesting that a straightforward damages action in Small Claims Court is the proper course.
