Injunction proceedings
Injunctions are a useful tool in commercial disputes and, as orders of the court, can provide a swift solution, both temporarily and permanently.
We can provide guidance on the likelihood of an injunction being granted, ensuring the criteria anticipated by the court has been met.
We can assist with all types of injunction including: without notice / interim injunction – usually made on an urgent basis and without providing notice to the other side where there is an immediate risk of serious harm; interlocutory injunction – frequently obtained in the middle of proceedings and temporary, lasting for no longer than the final trial; and permanent injunction –granted after the final trial and will either be ongoing or will last for a significant period of time.
We support with all aspects of the injunction process, including:
- making the application;
- arranging attendance at court to obtain the injunction;
- arranging service of the injunction order; and
- ensuring compliance / enforcing breaches of the order thereafter.
Recent work includes:
- We acted for a major solar farm operator in a dispute concerning the enforcement of a guarantee in relation to loan notes. A seven-figure settlement was agreed at mediation.
- We represented an RTM company in a £10m+ claim against a national housebuilder for significant fire safety breaches in the construction of a 15-storey building.
- Advised on a successful injunction application for a freezing order and a subsequent professional negligence claim against a firm of solicitors and a claim for an indemnity from the Land Registry. As a result, the clients were able to make a full recovery (including costs) of the £500,000 that has erroneously been paid to fraudsters.
