When It Cannot Wait

The dismissal letter. The ex-employee with the client list. The digger at the boundary. The assets quietly moving. Injunctions exist for the moments when waiting is losing — and so does this practice: minutes from the Four Courts, out of hours available.

The Remedy, Owned

Most firms bury injunctions inside litigation pages. This site is built the other way around: the emergency remedy first, across every field it serves — and both chairs: the applicant who needs an order, and the respondent who has just been served.

Urgent Injunctions

The emergency map: interim, interlocutory, ex parte, short service - and the first 72 hours.

Restraining dismissal pending fair procedures - the executive’s emergency remedy.

When assets are moving: freezing relief, disclosure in aid, and the honest evidential bar.

The Undertaking as to Damages

The real price of an injunction - the page no other firm writes.

Defending an Injunction

Served with papers on short notice? The timeline, the options, the mistakes to avoid.

No Guaranteed Orders. A Real Price of Entry. Delay Is Fatal.

Three truths most firms won’t put on a homepage: injunctions are discretionary — no honest solicitor promises one; the undertaking as to damages is the real admission price, and you should understand it before you apply; and delay undermines everything — the court asked to act urgently will ask why you didn’t. The honest version of this field takes a conversation, and it should happen today rather than next week.

Why This Practice, at Speed

Urgent applications reward two things: proximity and preparation. The Dublin office sits in The Ormond Building on Ormond Quay — a short walk from the Four Courts, where urgent applications are moved — and the practice behind it has run contentious matters across employment, company, property and family fields since 1981, with the Law Society’s Diploma in Mediation for the disputes where relationships must survive, and the TEP credential for the asset and structure questions freezing and company cases raise. Two minutes on the Injunction Readiness Check maps your urgency and evidence; one call — including out of hours — maps the realistic position.

Urgent Injunctions - FAQs

In genuinely urgent cases, remarkably fast: the courts can hear ex parte applications - without notice to the other side - at short notice where the urgency justifies it, granting interim orders that hold matters until both sides are heard days later. More commonly, applications proceed on short service: the other side gets abridged notice, and an interlocutory hearing follows. The honest qualifiers: speed must be earned with evidence (a grounding affidavit, exhibits, a coherent chronology), ex parte applicants owe the court full and frank disclosure of everything material - including what hurts them - and delay undermines the whole exercise: the court asked to act within hours will ask why you waited weeks. If something is happening now, the time to call is now.
