The three-part test
Every application is decided on the same three questions, and a well-prepared application answers each explicitly rather than leaving the court to infer them.
Where injunctions do the real work
Restraining the sale or transfer of disputed property. Stopping construction that would otherwise be complete before trial. Preventing a co-owner from dealing with joint property. Restraining the encashment of a bank guarantee. Preserving records or goods pending a decision.
Alongside the injunction there are related tools that matter: attachment before judgment where assets may disappear, appointment of a receiver to manage disputed property, and an advocate commissioner to inspect and record the position on the ground.
Undertakings, delay and the cost of waiting
Delay is the commonest reason injunctions are refused. A party who knew about the threatened act for months and applied only when it began has already answered the urgency question against themselves.
Applicants are also normally required to undertake to compensate the other side if the injunction turns out to have been wrongly obtained. That is a real exposure and should be understood before applying, not after.
