Injunctions: The Law and Practice

Injunctions are court orders that legally require a person or organization to do or stop doing something. They are used to prevent harm, protect rights, or maintain the status quo pending a full legal case. There are two main types: temporary (or interim) injunctions, which provide immediate, short-term relief, and permanent injunctions, which are granted after a trial and provide lasting resolution. The court bases its decision on the evidence presented, balancing fairness and justice. Injunctions are important tools to prevent damage or injustice while legal disputes are resolved.
