Master Linda S. Abrams, B.A., J.D., LL.M., Kevin P. McGuinness, LL.B., LL.M., J.S.D. & Jay Brecher, B.A., LL.B.
The delay inherent in any judicial proceeding makes it absolutely essential for the complainant to have some means of protecting those assets that are the subject of litigation, to ensure that the assets are not damaged, misappropriated or otherwise dissipated.
