Where should an interim application be issued?

• A. In the court where the claim is situated
• B. In any available county court
• C. In the Court of Appeal
• D. In a separate administrative tribunal

Answer: (A)

Interim applications are part of the ongoing civil action, so they belong in the court handling the claim. The court where the claim is situated has the jurisdiction and case-management powers to grant interim orders and ensure any relief fits with the substantive proceedings. Seeking an interim order in a different forum would create jurisdictional and consistency problems, and the Court of Appeal is reserved for appeals (not routine interim relief in the main claim). A separate administrative tribunal isn’t the forum for ordinary civil interim applications either. If the claim is in the High Court or the county court, that is the court in which the interim application should be issued.
