Urgent Asset Preservation Orders
When there is a real risk that the other party is disposing of, hiding, or transferring assets to defeat your legitimate claim, an urgent asset preservation order — commonly known as a freezing order or Mareva injunction — can prevent irreversible financial harm. Our litigation team has significant experience in obtaining these orders on an urgent and sometimes ex parte basis across the Supreme Court, Federal Court, and Family Court. We act swiftly to freeze assets and protect your position before it is too late.
Immediate Steps to Take
Contact Vitt Legal on 1300 24 11 44 to discuss the situation urgently.
Gather any evidence of asset transfers, property sales, or unusual financial activity.
Identify the assets at risk — bank accounts, real property, shares, business interests, vehicles.
Preserve any communications showing intent to dissipate or hide assets.
Do not alert the other party that you are seeking a freezing order — this is often done ex parte.
Our lawyer will prepare and file the urgent application with supporting affidavits.
Our Process
Urgent Consultation
We assess the risk of asset dissipation, identify the assets at risk, and determine the appropriate court and type of order required.
Evidence Gathering
We help you compile evidence of asset dissipation risk, including financial records, property searches, and communications demonstrating intent.
Ex Parte Application
We prepare and file the freezing order application, often on an ex parte (without notice) basis to prevent the other party from moving assets before the order takes effect.
Court Hearing
We appear before the court to argue for the freezing order, presenting evidence of dissipation risk and the strength of your underlying claim.
Enforcement & Return Date
Once granted, we serve the order and monitor compliance. We represent you at the return date hearing where the order is reviewed on an inter partes basis.
