Which form is used to start an interim application?

• A. Form N244
• B. Form N9
• C. Form N1
• D. Form N5

Answer: (A)

Interim applications are started with an Application Notice, Form N244. This form is used to ask the court for temporary or urgent orders before the final hearing, such as interim injunctions or directions. When you file N244, you set out the order sought, the grounds for the application, and you usually include a draft order showing what you want the court to grant. The form is then served on the other party, unless the court permits an ex parte or without-notice application in urgent situations. You typically attach evidence in support, such as a witness statement, to explain why the interim relief is warranted and urgent.

The other forms mentioned are used for starting or defending ordinary court proceedings rather than for interim relief, so they’re not the correct choice for initiating an interim application.
