A Mareva injunction is an Order of the Court which has the effect of freezing a rogue's assets and preventing the rogue from disposing of or dealing in any manner with his assets pending the final disposition of the victim's recovery proceedings against the rogue.
Mareva injunctions are granted with a view to preserving the status quo, that is, in order to ensure that the subject matter of the recovery litigation (typically, the stolen funds) is not dissipated before trial, thus defeating the purpose of the victim's legal proceedings against the rogue.
The victim must give an undertaking as to damages, that is, the victim must undertake to be responsible for any damages which the rogue may incur as a result of the Mareva injunction in the event that it is subsequently determined by a Court that the Mareva injunction ought not to have been granted.
