Hunting for assets: no need to prove exceptional circumstances to obtain an order for disclosure from a non-resident foreign officer of a judgment debtor

In Deutsche Bank AG v Sebastian Holdings Inc and another (2015), the High Court declined to set aside an order under CPR Part 71 that a non-resident foreign officer of a judgment debtor provide information needed to enforce the judgment.  There is no requirement that there be "exceptional circumstances" for such an order to be made.
