The plaintiffs in two related actions sought an interim Mareva injunction against the defendants, alleging a fraudulent investment scheme involving the purchase and resale of used vehicles.
The court found a strong prima facie case of fraud, noting evidence of non-existent purchasers, missing funds, and the transfer of assets by the personal defendant.
The court granted the Mareva injunction in the standard form, rejecting the defendants' request for an adjournment and their proposed terms allowing discretionary withdrawals for living expenses and business operations.
