  • 27 Nov 2024

Cyprus stands at the forefront of international litigation, offering a dynamic and robust legal framework for securing interim relief. At Economou & Co LLC, we are proud to present a comprehensive guide to interim orders - a decisive tool in upholding justice in the most complex legal disputes.

In high-stakes litigation, interim orders are not just remedies—they are strategies. Cyprus’s legal system provides unparalleled solutions to protect rights and ensure fairness, including:

  • Prohibitory Orders (Freezing Injunctions): Freezing assets both domestically and globally, ensuring their availability for enforcement in disputes involving substantial financial stakes.
  • Disclosure Orders (Norwich Pharmacal): Unveiling hidden assets and uncovering critical evidence in cases of fraud, conspiracy, and financial misconduct.
  • Receivership Orders: Appointing neutral professionals to manage and preserve assets, protecting their value and ensuring fair outcomes.
  • Chabra Orders: Extending the reach of freezing injunctions to third parties holding assets beneficially owned by defendants—an indispensable tool in multi-jurisdictional disputes.
  • Anton Piller Orders (Search Orders): Preserving evidence under immediate threat, enabling swift action to secure justice.
  • Expanded Jurisdiction: With recent reforms, Cypriot courts can now issue interim orders supporting foreign proceedings, elevating Cyprus to a leading position in cross-border litigation.

Our guide delves into the intricacies of these remedies, providing a roadmap for navigating the complexities of Cypriot law. These measures are not just legal mechanisms - they are the foundation of strategic litigation in an interconnected world.

At Economou & Co LLC, we have stood at the forefront of precedent-setting cases, securing freezing and disclosure orders in disputes exceeding €500 million. This guide is a reflection of our collective expertise and extensive experience in high-value litigation.
