Summary

Following the discharge of a freezing order, the fourth defendant sought compensation under the claimant's undertaking as to damages, claiming lost fees from a corporate advisory engagement in Sri Lanka. The court declined to order compensation, finding that the freezing order had not caused the defendant's loss and that, even if it had, the circumstances — including the defendant's own role in the dispute — made it inappropriate to require the claimant to compensate the loss.
