Welcome to the Eversheds Sutherland Court Orders Update. The purpose of this page is to bring together in one place the rolling updates and analysis produced by our Financial Service Disputes and Investigations team on the latest judgments relating to final and interim relief.
These updates focus on the practical implications arising from such judgments, which are each selected on the basis of their relevance to in-house counsel at financial institutions in England and Wales.
The updates span the types of relief most commonly encountered by financial institutions where they are third parties to the main proceedings, such as freezing orders, third party debt orders, search orders, Norwich Pharmacal orders, Bankers Trust orders as well as other disclosure orders including those from HMRC and the SFO.
If any of the updates are of particular interest to you or your institution, we would be delighted to discuss them further with you. Please contact either the relevant contributor whose details can be found at the bottom of the update or the contacts listed on this page.
This page is updated regularly, so please keep checking back here or LinkedIn for the latest case updates and analysis.
