Legal Standard for Injunctions

A legal standard for injunctions involves a court deciding whether to order someone to do something or to stop doing something. Generally, the person requesting the injunction must show they will suffer significant harm without it, that the harm outweighs any harm to the other party, that the injunction serves the public interest, and that they have a strong likelihood of winning the case. If granted, an injunction can provide immediate relief while the case is resolved, ensuring that no further damage occurs during the legal process.
