Freezing of company assets may be ordered during inquiries to prevent prejudicial transfers or impose conditional restrictions. The Tribunal may direct that removal, transfer or disposal of a company's funds, assets or properties shall not take place for a period not exceeding three years or shall take place only subject to conditions and restrictions where such transfers are likely to be prejudicial to the company's interests, shareholders, creditors, or public interest; contravention of such an order attracts monetary penalties for the company and criminal liability for officers in default, including imprisonment or fines.
