antitrust injunction

An antitrust injunction is a legal order issued by a court to prevent a company from engaging in practices that violate antitrust laws, which are designed to promote fair competition and prevent monopolies. For example, if a business attempts to unfairly dominate a market or stifle competition through illegal means, the court may impose an injunction. This stops the company from continuing those harmful practices, ensuring that other businesses can compete fairly and consumers have choices in the marketplace. Antitrust injunctions aim to protect competition and maintain a healthy economy.
