A temporary order, usually made without a hearing, placing a charge over a respondent's asset (such as a property or shares) to secure a judgment debt. It is an early step before a final charging order is made. The respondent and anyone else affected can object before the court decides whether to make the charge final.
In Plain English
A temporary legal hold placed on someone's property to ensure a debt is eventually paid. It acts as a safeguard before the court decides whether to make the hold permanent.
