Writ & Administrative Law

Yes. Where immediate implementation could cause serious or irreversible harm before final determination, a petitioner can seek an interim order.

The court decides whether temporary protection is necessary after considering the right asserted, urgency, balance of consequences and legal basis of the challenge.
