Short answer
For a trespass injunction enquiry, gather title documents, plans, photographs, incident logs, access or boundary evidence, correspondence, witness details, urgency reasons, draft order material and any court papers.
Quick checklist
Start with these
Best order
How to organise the first pack
- Put any hearing notice, application or order first.
- Add title documents and a plan that marks the disputed land.
- Organise incident evidence by date and location.
- State whether urgent advice, drafting or advocacy is requested.
Identify The Land And Right To Object
Start with the land. The enquiry should show who owns, occupies or controls the land, where the alleged trespass is taking place and whether there are boundary, easement, licence or tenancy issues.
A marked plan is often more useful than a long description. If the dispute concerns access, parking, building work, fencing, business premises or neighbouring land, label the physical features clearly.
- Official copy title, lease, licence or occupation evidence.
- Title plan, site plan, photographs and annotated location map.
- Boundary, right of way, easement or adverse possession material.
- Correspondence about consent, access, warnings or previous agreements.
- Any linked possession, nuisance, planning or neighbour-dispute papers.
Show The Incidents And Urgency
The evidence should show what happened, when, who was involved and why damages or later proceedings may not be enough. Keep incident evidence chronological and preserve original files where possible.
- Incident log with dates, times, locations and people involved.
- Photographs, videos, CCTV stills, inspection notes or contractor reports.
- Witness names and a short note of what each person saw.
- Police, council, security or insurer reference numbers if relevant.
- Evidence of ongoing interference, safety concern, blocked access or commercial loss.
Prepare The Injunction Question
Civil Procedure Rules Part 25 sets out interim remedy procedures, including evidence and draft-order requirements for interim injunctions. A quote request should say whether the work is urgent advice, draft evidence, a draft order, settlement advice or hearing representation.
Some injunction matters need solicitor support for filing, service, undertakings, enforcement and ongoing litigation conduct. This guide does not confirm that any injunction should be sought.
Avoid delays
What not to send first
- Describing the land without a plan or title documents.
- Relying on general neighbour history without specific incidents.
- Omitting facts that may weaken the injunction request.
- Assuming an urgent quote request files or serves court papers.
