Other interlocutory applications
Apply for an interlocutory order
Interlocutory is a legal term for procedural issues that may arise and must be resolved before a case is heard.
Any party may file an application for an order or direction relating to a procedural issue. Examples include an application to join a party, application for stay or an application for security for costs.
The Employment Court Regulations 2000 prescribe forms for some interlocutory applications (application for leave Form 2A, application for stay Form 14, challenge to objection to disclosure Form 8 and application for verification order Form 9).
If you want to file an interlocutory application other than those listed you will need to use either Form 2A: application for leave or the High Court Rules Form G31: interlocutory application on notice.1 You will usually be required to file an affidavit in support.
