Common confusion points
Confusing 'Varying' (changing a detail) with 'Discharging' (ending it completely).
Not knowing if an order *must* be Interim before the main hearing.
Applying for Section 28 relief but forgetting to reference the specific requirements of Section 29 within the narrative.
Assuming that ticking 'Ex Parte' means no one else can object—it only means you don't need a hearing initially.
