Common questions
Questions clients ask about injunctions & emergency court applications
What is an injunction?
A court order restraining a person from doing an act, or requiring an act to be done. Breach of an injunction is a serious matter.
Can I get an injunction urgently?
Where the situation is genuinely urgent, the court can grant interim relief without notice to the other side, usually on an undertaking as to damages and full and frank disclosure.
How long does an injunction last?
An interim order lasts until the interlocutory hearing; an interlocutory order lasts until trial or final judgment.
Do I need to prove urgency?
Yes. The court requires evidence, on oath, of why the matter cannot wait and why irreparable harm would otherwise result.
These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence and applicable law of each matter.
