All aspects of account freezing orders and High Court civil recovery are to be analysed in an upcoming Rahman Ravelli and Doughty Street-hosted webinar.
The event, entitled "Account Freezing Orders and High Court Civil Recovery Criminal Practice in a Civil Age'', will be held at 4pm UK time on Thursday December 10. It will examine account freezing orders (AFOs) from all possible perspectives and look at a range of recent and significant High Court civil recovery cases.

It will examine issues, including:
- Account freezing orders in practice - and the first steps that need to be taken
- Part 5 of POCA. Its importance in civil recovery and its increased use.
- Appeals to vary and discharge freezing orders.
- The myths and realities regarding recoverable property.
- The POCA Section 241 definition of unlawful conduct; including notable cases such as ARA v Green [2005], ARA v Olupitan [2008] and Angus v UKBA [2011]
