The court may grant an injunction under F2this Part lasting until the final hearing of the application or until further order (an “interim injunction”) if the court thinks it just to do so.

An interim injunction made at a hearing of which the respondent was not given notice may not have the effect of requiring the respondent to participate in particular activities.
