Why is temporary relief often the real trial?
Civil proceedings last for years, and reality does not wait: an asset is sold, an account is emptied, a trade secret is exploited, a meeting convenes. Temporary relief is intended to freeze the situation until a decision is reached, and in practice, the decision on the temporary relief usually dictates the balance of power and the settlement: whoever obtained an attachment or an injunction manages the case from a position of strength.
The toolbox
A temporary attachment on accounts, assets, and funds held by third parties; a temporary injunction prohibiting action (sale of an asset, convening an assembly, use of a secret, construction); a temporary mandatory order in exceptional cases; an order prohibiting disposition; temporary receivership; an order delaying exit from the country under stringent conditions; and civil search and seizure orders to preserve evidence. The applications are heard urgently, and in appropriate cases ex parte; the element of surprise is critical where there is concern about dissipation.
What must be proven, and what is at risk?
The applicant is required to show: prima facie reliable evidence for the existence of the cause of action; a balance of convenience tilting in their favor (the harm to them if the order is not granted versus the harm to the other side if it is granted); good faith and clean hands, as concealment of facts in an ex parte motion brings down orders; and absence of delay. The price: a personal undertaking and guarantees, and anyone who obtained an order through an excessive motion that was denied is exposed to compensating the harmed party. Temporary relief is a powerful weapon, for those who know how to use it correctly.
