provisional remedy

provisional remedy
A remedy of a party to an action, not intended as a means of reaching a determination and adjudication of the issue or issues, but as a means whereby the party who invokes it successfully prevents the adverse party from taking steps during the course of the action which would thwart the enforcement of a judgment obtained in the action. Not a special proceeding, but a merely collateral proceeding permitted only in connection with a regular action, and as one of its incidents. Snavely v Abbott Buggy Co. 36 Kan 106, 12 P 522. See attachment; injunction.
