1Opinion of the CourtKass, J.
In anticipation of eviction proceedings from commercial space it occupied in Lexington, Lawless-Mawhinney Motors, Inc. (tenant), launched a preemptive action which sought declaratory and temporary injunctive relief, as well as damages under G. L. c. 93A, § 11. A judge of the Superior Court enjoined the defendant Evelyn Mawhinney (landlord) “from interfering with the [tenant’s] use and occupation of the premises at 577-581 Marrett Road, ... or from attempting to evict the [tenant] . . . .” The landlord has appealed from that interlocutory order pursuant to G. L. c. 231, § 118, second par.
