¹ In cases of spe­cial ur­gency, and in par­tic­u­lar where there is a risk that the en­force­ment of the meas­ure will be frus­trated, the court may or­der the in­ter­im meas­ure im­me­di­ately and without hear­ing the op­pos­ing party.

² At the same time, the court shall sum­mon the parties to a hear­ing, which must take place im­me­di­ately, or set a dead­line for the op­pos­ing party to com­ment in writ­ing. Hav­ing heard the op­pos­ing party, the court shall de­cide on the ap­plic­a­tion im­me­di­ately.

³ Be­fore or­der­ing in­ter­im meas­ures, the court may ex of­fi­cio or­der the ap­plic­ant to provide se­cur­ity.
