“When applying for an interim order directing a party to provide information about relevant property or assets which were, or could be the subject of an application for a freezing injunction, it was necessary to show only that there was a reasonable possibility, based on credible evidence, that a freezing injunction would be applied for.”

Lichter & Schwarz (a partnership) v Rubin [2008] EWHC 450 (Ch D); [2008] WLR (D) 93
“On an interim application for the disclosure of ‘information about relevant property or assets which are or may be the subject of an application for a freezing injunction’ pursuant to CPR r 25.1(1)(g), it was only necessary to show that a freezing order could be applied for and whether or not that application would be successful was not a matter on which the court could form a view at that stage; it need only be satisfied that there were credible grounds for making an application if so advised.”
