In this Hong Kong-specific Q&A we provide an overview of the law relating to attachment orders including the grounds on which such orders are passed, the type of assets which can be attached, the procedure for applying for an attachment order and their enforcement. This Q&A also covers the scope of attachment orders in relation to overseas assets and in support of foreign proceedings. Please note that all interim injunctions that restrain a party from disposing of or dealing with their assets until judgment can be obtained or enforced (also known as freezing orders/injunctions in some jurisdictions) will be referred to as "attachment orders" in this Q&A.
