<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe this situation would be covered by the injunction statute, RCW 7.40. In party A's motion, they would need to show that they would be entitled to the relief sought in their Petition/ Complaint (I assume real property disputes are covered by this civil statute?). Depending on how brief the complaint is, they can submit additional evidence, like a boundary survey, to support their motion/request. </span></div>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But, RCW 7.40.080 also indicates that before issuing the restraints, Party A would have to post a bond to compensate Party B for any damages suffered as a result of those restraining order. I assume Party A's real property could be used to secure any bond ordered.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Andrekita Silva</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Law Office of F.
