ANTON PILLER

An Anton Piller order (frequently misspelt Anton Pillar order) is a court order which provides for the right to search premises and seize evidence without prior warning. This is used in order to prevent the destruction of incriminating evidence, particularly in cases of alleged trade-mark, copyright or patent infringements.

The order is named for the case of Anton Piller KG vs Manufacturing Processes Limited in 1976, although the first such order was granted by Templeman J in EMI Limited v Pandit in 1975. They are now known as search orders in England and Wales.

Because such an order is essentially unfair to the accused party, Anton Piller orders are only issued exceptionally and according to the three-step test set out by Ormrod LJ in the Anton Piller case:

[1] There is an extremely strong prima facie case against the respondent.

[2] The damage, potential or actual, must be very serious for the applicant.

[3]There must be clear evidence that the respondents have in their possession incriminating documents or things and that there is a real possibility that they may destroy such material before an inter partes application can be made.

An Anton Piller order is often combined with a Mareva injunction, enabling an applicant to have the respondent’s assets frozen so they cannot be dissipated to frustrate judgment. This can however be disastrous for a defendant as the cumulative effect of these orders can be to destroy the whole of a business’ custom, by freezing most of its assets and revealing important information to its competitors.
