Injunction
An injunction is a legal remedy used to prevent someone from doing something that would cause harm or violate rights. In the context of a breach of contract or legal duty, a court can issue an injunction to stop a party from taking certain actions, such as halting construction on a property or enforcing a non-compete agreement. There are two types: a prohibitory injunction stops actions, while a mandatory injunction compels a party to take a specific action. Injunctions aim to protect the interests of the injured party and maintain fairness in legal relations.

An injunction is a legal order issued by a court that requires a person or entity to do something, or to stop doing something. It’s often used to prevent harm or to maintain the status quo in a dispute. For example, a court might issue an injunction to prevent a company from destroying a historic building until a legal case is resolved. Injunctions can be temporary or permanent, and they play a crucial role in protecting rights and interests during legal proceedings.
