Temporary restraining order is intended to temporarily protect someone’s rights until the final court judgment is issued, which may take more than two years.

For a court to issue an interim measures decision, the law requires the existence of a risk that a right may be lost or its enforcement hindered.

In practice, the most common interim measures are conservatory attachment, judicial sequestration of property, and temporary regulation of a situation by the court (especially in family matters, where the court may, for example, order the defendant not to approach the claimant, etc.).

The procedure is completed quickly, and until the court issues its ruling, a temporary injunction may also be requested and granted. The temporary nature of interim measures allows them to remain in force (at the latest) until the court renders a decision on the dispute.

They are a useful tool for protecting the beneficiary during litigation, particularly given the fast-paced changes of daily life.
