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.

The webinar is being hosted by Nicola Sharp, legal director at Rahman Ravelli, and Jonathan Lennon, a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers.
It will examine issues, including:

- 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.
