anti-suit injunction

An anti-suit injunction is a court order issued to prevent a party from continuing legal action in another jurisdiction that could harm the interests of the party requesting the injunction. It is used to maintain jurisdictional order and prevent conflicting judgments between courts. Essentially, it stops a party from pursuing legal proceedings elsewhere that might undermine or interfere with the ongoing legal process or agreement in the original court. This tool helps ensure consistency and efficiency in legal disputes, especially in international cases or multi-jurisdictional contexts.
