Common confusion points
Confusing 'Notice of Motion' with just 'Application Form' – it is a formal request to act.
Believing filing this guarantees an order; it only starts the process.
Not knowing whether you need both Section 8 AND Section 10 grounds listed, or if one suffices.
Failing to explain *why* the protection needs to be immediate (the urgency factor).
