Section 25.8(1)

Where the applicant reasonably believes that there is good reason for not giving the required notice, and where the application is to be dealt with at a court hearing— the application notice, supporting evidence and a draft order must be filed with the court at least two hours before the hearing wherever possible; if an application is made before the application notice has been issued, a draft order must be provided at the hearing, and the application notice and evidence in support must be filed with the court on the same or next working day or as ordered by the court; except in cases where the applicant reasonably believes that secrecy is essential, the applicant must take steps to notify the respondent of the application; and the applicant must take or arrange to be taken a note of the hearing and serve this on the respondent.
