This provision shall not apply when the defendant has fraudulently appropriated property entrusted to him or obtained possession by false pretense or by embezzlement.(c) The property is a credit card.(d) Any other circumstances showing that great or irreparable injury would result to the plaintiff if issuance of the writ were delayed until the matter could be heard on notice.(3) The plaintiff's motion for the writ shall satisfy the requirements of KRS 425.011 and in addition shall include a showing that the conditions required by this section exist.
