Where a matter is genuinely urgent and delay carries real risk, a court can decide an injunction application on the papers, without hearing the other side, on the same day or within a few days. That speed comes from the injunction provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure (HMK, No. 6100), which allow an injunction to be granted on approximate proof of the right rather than on full proof of it.

Three things decide whether you get it that fast: a request framed clearly and concretely, a body of evidence that establishes the ground for the injunction — the harm the delay would cause — and an appropriate offer of security. Where the matter is not urgent the court will usually hear the other side before deciding, and that lengthens things considerably. We build the application complete and evidenced from the outset, because that is what makes the fast route available at all.
