In the first public hearing on the case, Mr. Justice Floyd stated the freezing order will remain in place on assets worth £210 million controlled by defendants Holyoake; David Wells, former British Seafood finance director; and others, including Laurence Holyoake, brother of Mark.

This freezing order was granted March 16 following the various British Seafood group companies going into administration in February, with Deloitte LLP appointed the administrator for Bloomsbury International, British Seafood Ltd.; Seafood Intermediary Company 1 Ltd.; and British Seafood Holdings.
