Interim relief can be granted by the Hearing Officer upon an application accompanied by:

A. Only a representation
B. A representation and an affidavit
C. A legal opinion
D. A bank guarantee
Correct Answer: B. A representation and an affidavit

Interim relief is a temporary measure granted by a legal or administrative body to prevent immediate harm or maintain the status quo until a final decision is made. To obtain such relief from a Hearing Officer, an application must typically be robustly supported.

  • Option B: A representation and an affidavit is correct because a representation outlines the legal arguments and factual basis for the request, while an affidavit provides sworn evidence to substantiate the claims, lending credibility and weight to the application.
  • Option A: Only a representation is insufficient as it lacks the sworn evidence necessary to convince the officer of the urgency or veracity of the claims.
  • Option C: A legal opinion is an interpretation of the law, not a direct application document for interim relief.
  • Option D: A bank guarantee might be required in specific financial cases as a condition for granting relief, but it is not the primary accompanying document for the application itself.
