26 Mandamus, injunctions and receivers

(1)

The Supreme Court may grant a mandamus or an injunction or appoint a receiver by any interlocutory order in all cases in which it appears to the Court to be just or convenient so to do.

(2)

Any such order may be made either unconditionally or on such terms and conditions as the Court thinks just.

(3)

If, whether before, or at, or after the hearing of any cause or matter, an application is made for an injunction to prevent any threatened or apprehended waste or trespass, the injunction may be granted, if the Court thinks fit, whether the person against whom the injunction is sought is or is not in possession under any claim of title or otherwise, or (if out of possession) does or does not claim a right to do the act sought to be restrained under any colour of title, and whether the estates claimed by both or by either of the parties are legal or equitable.
