What needs attention first?
This checklist suggests a review priority, not the likelihood of winning. Answers stay in this page and are not submitted.
Which procedure fits the right?
Provisional attachment preserves future enforcement of a monetary claim. An injunction restraining disposal can protect a specific property right; an injunction restraining transfer of possession addresses changes in the occupier. An order that effectively grants final relief before trial requires particularly careful justification.
What evidence establishes urgency?
Non-payment alone may not explain why interim protection is needed. Combine the contract and transaction records with dated evidence of a proposed sale, asset transfers, a change of occupier or imminent work at the site.
Choose the asset and respondent carefully
Consider prior-ranking security and actual enforcement value, and avoid excessive attachment. For an injunction, identify who controls the property, occupation or work and exactly what conduct should be restrained.
An order must still be implemented
The Civil Execution Act provides a two-week enforcement period from notification of an attachment order to the creditor. Relevant attachment rules also apply to injunctions. Check the particular order, notification date and required enforcement method immediately; obtaining an order and completing enforcement are separate steps.
Questions clients ask
Does attachment pay the debt immediately?
No. It preserves assets for future enforcement and does not finally determine or pay the claim.
Does an injunction against transfer of possession complete an eviction?
No. The substantive possession claim and any subsequent enforcement remain separate.
Can an unjustified application create liability?
Wrongful interim measures may result in a damages issue. Assess the legal basis, scope and risks before applying.
