Lincoln Caylor and Nathan Shaheen explore the evolving evidentiary threshold for Mareva injunctions in Canada in the Q2 2025 issue of Chambers Digest.

The article explains how this shift could make it easier for claimants to freeze assets, particularly in cases involving suspected dissipation. It also outlines the practical implications for claimants seeking asset preservation.
