Section 25.2

An order for an interim remedy may be made at any time, including before proceedings are started or after judgment has been given, subject to any rule, practice direction or enactment which provides otherwise. The court may grant an interim remedy before a claim has been started only if the matter is urgent, or it is otherwise desirable to do so in the interests of justice. A defendant may not apply for an interim remedy before filing either an acknowledgment of service or a defence, unless the court directs otherwise. Where the court grants an interim remedy before a claim has been started, it must give directions requiring a claim to be commenced, unless— the application is made under section 33 of the Senior Courts Act 1981 or section 52 of the County Courts Act 1984; or the court considers it is inappropriate.
