Urgent Interim Measures in Corporate Disputes

In corporate litigation, the available rights and remedies turn on provable facts and the governing corporate documents. A corporate dispute may threaten assets, evidence or shareholders' rights before final judgment. Interim relief seeks to preserve those interests based on verifiable facts.

What to keep in mind

Identify imminent harm and the underlying claim, and request the least intrusive effective judicial measure appropriate to the evidence.

Urgency does not justify unlimited judicial intrusion into company management.

Distinctions often confused

An interim injunction does not necessarily determine the merits of the dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Can interim relief be sought before filing the main claim?
In some circumstances, subject to procedural duties and deadlines.
Can a court suspend a shareholders' resolution?
Yes, where the specific statutory and procedural requirements are met.
