In Australia, if a plaintiff believes there is a real risk that a debtor will deal with assets so as to frustrate any future judgment in favour of the plaintiff, the plaintiff can apply to court for a Mareva injunction. An application can also seek orders in support of the Mareva injunction (such as an order that the debtor give discovery of his or her assets) but otherwise the Mareva injunction remains the primary judicial measure available to a plaintiff in Australia to preserve a debtor’s assets pending judgment.
