Masri v Consolidated Contractors International UK Ltd [2008] EWCA Civ 303, [2008] All ER (D) 69 (Apr)

(i) A freezing order will be granted more readily after judgment than before; it is sufficient for the grant of relief that there is a real risk that the judgment will remain unsatisfied if injunctive relief is refused; (ii) there is no reason why the court should not exercise a power to appoint a receiver by way of equitable execution over future receipts from a defined asset.
