Evidence for the motion

Without evidence any injunction becomes a paper tiger. Bank statements, emails, witnesses and the affidavit must make the imminent damage tangible.

Often the quality of the affidavit decides whether the court grants the motion or sets an oral hearing.

Execution and security

The motion must also consider execution: service, bank notification, block officers and the question of security. Without an execution plan even granted injunctions dissolve.

Short answers.

How long does a preliminary injunction take?

With good preparation commercial courts often decide within days. Without preparation the procedure takes considerably longer.

What happens with an unfounded motion?

If the injunction is lifted, damage claims of the opposing side threaten. Therefore the claim must be sound.
