settingsFor legal practitioners seeking to gather evidence of any type, a private investigator or forensic expert can be of assistance and this is the case in the execution of Anton Piller orders as well. Firstly, if the whereabouts of the person or entity subject to the order is unknown, an experienced investigator may be able to locate the relevant property. Also, leading up to the execution of the order and on the proposed day of execution, it may be optimal to get an insight into the routine of the subject to ensure the order is executed at an appropriate time. Placing the subject under surveillance enables one to learn more about a subject and, if he or she decides to hamper the team executing the order (by interfering with evidence for example) then a surveillance operative may be able to document this. Sometimes, a person subject to an order will not comply with the order and deny the team executing the order access to his or her property. If this happens, the evidence held by the subject may be destroyed or removed as soon as the team departs. If a surveillance operative stays in place after a team has been turned away, it may be possible to document activity on the part of the subject that could constitute a breach of the order. It may in fact be possible to recover evidence that a subject has sought to destroy or throw away.
