Kea Investments Ltd. v Watson
[2020] EWHC 472 (Ch)
Key Principle
Where a claimant disputes the ostensible owner's beneficial title to frozen assets and asserts they are held as nominee for the judgment debtor, the injunction is 'quasi-proprietary' and the more restrictive principles governing proprietary injunctions (not ordinary freezing orders) apply to any release of funds for legal expenses.
