It’s not your legally narrow definition of harm, or the court’s definition of an unreasonable timeframe… yet it’s undeniably harmful to an innocent family.

We’re still doing that part - innocent until proven guilty - right?

Generally speaking, in order to get intrusive injunctive relief of this level, you need to have a VERY good record.

Without the ability to freeze assets, someone can defraud you then use the proceeds of fraud itself to fund a legal defense while hiding assets. Or draw out the case and take a decade long vacation in Ibiza on your dime.

Which happens. A lot.

The court isn't going to get it right 100% of the time, but it does the vast majority of times when it comes to these cases - evidentiary standards are so high that people regularly write off MILLIONS of dollars in fraud losses because of how hard these remedies are to get.

Without a desire to understand how the system works on your end, it's impossible on my end to explain WHY these rules exist.
