temporary injunction

A temporary injunction is a court order issued to temporarily stop someone from doing a certain action until a full court hearing can be held. It is used to prevent harm or preserve the status quo while the legal dispute is being decided. This type of injunction is typically granted when there’s an urgent need to avoid damage that could’t be fixed later, but it’s not a final decision on the case’s merits. It lasts only until the court can make a more thorough judgment.
