Urgent Applications – Gqeberha & Makanda High Court
Some situations simply cannot wait. When your rights are being threatened or immediate harm is likely, the normal court process is too slow. In these cases, you may need to bring an urgent application to court.
At LMVH Attorneys, we act quickly and decisively in urgent matters. With over 14 years of litigation experience, we understand the strict procedures that apply in the Gqeberha and Makhanda High Courts. We also work closely with experienced counsel (advocates) to ensure that your case is argued effectively in court.
What is an Urgent Application?
An urgent application is when you ask the court to hear your matter immediately instead of waiting for the ordinary court timetable. This is allowed only when a delay would cause serious harm, prejudice, or injustice.
Common Urgent Matters
- Interdicts – to stop someone from doing something unlawful or harmful.
- Spoliation applications – to restore possession if you’ve been unlawfully deprived of property or utilities (for example, a landlord cutting off electricity or water).
- Family and child-related applications – such as urgent contact, medical decisions, or school disputes.
- Property matters – urgent eviction orders or stopping transfers.
- Commercial and business matters – freezing bank accounts, protecting intellectual property, or preventing contract breaches.
How We Handle Urgent Applications
- Quick Assessment – we immediately evaluate whether your matter qualifies as urgent under court rules.
- Preparation of Papers – urgent affidavits and notices are drafted without delay.
