JSC BTA Bank v Ablyazov (No 10) [2013] EWCA Civ 928; [2013] WLR (D) 305
“In determining the meaning of the term ‘assets’ in a freezing order, account should be taken, as part of the background and context of such orders, of their purpose, in the way that anyone construing any document should take account of the background of it. Where the words used clearly and unequivocally led to the conclusion that the term ‘asset’ included that which could not be the subject of execution, effect must be given to the words. Where they did not, the purpose of such orders would be a significant factor in determining the meaning of the term ‘asset’ in that context and a pointer against including the particular right under consideration.”
