Ex parte application即單方面的申請，通常是非正審 (interlocutory)的申請。最常見例子是緊急禁制令 (mareva injunction)以禁止對方的行動。有時因為情況緊急，連Originating Process (eg. Writ of Summons/ Originating Summons) 也來不及準備，當然也未存檔 (filing) 於法庭，連案件編號也未有。這時候則需要在申請的誓章 (Affidavit/ Affirmation)中給法庭承諾 (undertaking)，表示將會盡快準備即存檔Writ of Summons。
但更普遍情況是Inter partes application 即會通知對方的申請：律師收到客人指示後，會立即準備Writ of Summons與Indorsement of Claim (即簡單化的Statement of Claim)與申請禁制令的存票( Summons)以及誓章，同時存檔於法庭以及送達 (serve)給被告人，以便在2 clear days後在summons hearing在雙方出席情況下做出申請。
無論是ex parte或 inter partes application，通常大律師需要準備Skeleton Argument以及Hearing bundle並存檔於法庭(但通常是直接交予聆案官Master的書記Clerk)。以及若inter partes的話，送達副本給被告，除非形勢非常緊急，則可能可以豁免這要求。
