Stay order against my neighbour to save my property. I want to obtain a court stay order on the adjoining neighbour construction due to the risk of damage to my house.

You have the option to initiate a civil lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction against your neighbor to safeguard your property from potential damage. If you believe that your neighbor is engaged in unauthorized construction that poses a risk to your house, the court is likely to grant an injunction (stay order) against them.

Simultaneously, within the same civil suit, you can also request a temporary injunction. The purpose of the temporary injunction is to prevent your neighbor from taking any actions that could harm your house while the civil suit is pending.

To obtain either type of injunction, you must convince the court that your neighbor is involved in unauthorized construction that may result in harm to your property. The court will require evidence of damage, loss, or injury caused by your neighbor’s actions before granting a stay order.
