2. INTERIM MEASURES that may be ordered:
3. (a) appointment of GUARDIAN for minor or unsound person;
4. (b) measures of PROTECTION of subject matter (preservation, interim custody, sale of goods);
5. (c) appointment of RECEIVER;
6. (d) PROVIDE SECURITY for amount in dispute;
7. (e) INJUNCTIONS or interim measures of protection;
