Injunctions

(1) In any proceedings in which an injunction has been or might have been
claimed, a plaintiff may, before or after judgment, apply for an injunction to
restrain the defendant from-

   (a)  the repetition or continuance of the wrongful act or breach of
        contract complained of; or

   (b)  the commission of any wrongful act or breach of contract of a like
        kind, relating to the same property or right or arising out of the
        same contract, and the Court, in addition to giving judgment for such
        damages and costs as the plaintiff may be entitled to, may grant the
        injunction on such terms as may be just.

(2) An application under this rule may be made-

   (a)  before the hearing of the action or matter; or

   (b)  at or immediately after the hearing, in which case the order shall be
        included in the judgment; or

   (c)  after judgment, on notice and supported by affidavit.
