Interlocutory Meaning

Throughout the course of a case, a judge may issue what is known as a "interlocutory order," which is a temporary ruling that is not considered final. Interlocutory is an archaic term that has been superseded by the more modern phrase "interim," which indicates that the request has been satisfied for the time being, i.e. Interim search order (previously known as an interlocutory Anton Pillar order).

The several meanings of the term "interlocutory injunction." Throughout the course of a trial, an injunction may be given to either keep things as they are or keep the subject matter of the case safe until the trial is over. Injunction provisoire is another name for this. command to stop doing something, also known as an enjoining, enjoinment, or injunction.

It is possible to obtain an injunction without notice to the other party (ex parte) in such cases, and where necessary, it can be done by means of telephoning or visiting a judge at home if the matter arises outside court hours. In such cases, injunctions will be granted as temporary measures, until a full hearing can be arranged. Guidelines as to the granting of interim injunctions were given by the House of Lords in American Cyanamid Co v Ethicon [1975] AC 396.
