The Applicant failed to satisfy the 'high degree of assurance' test required for a mandatory interim injunction. There is no clear evidence at this stage that the Respondent is contractually obligated to maintain the breakwater as a common area. The balance of convenience does not favour the Applicant, as damages are an adequate remedy and granting the injunction would effectively determine the substantive dispute before trial.
