Injunction
A court order that either:
- Prohibits a person from taking a particular action (a prohibitory injunction).
- Requiring them to take a particular action (a mandatory injunction).
Injunctions may be granted as either:
- Final relief at trial, sometimes referred to as "perpetual" injunctions.
- Interim relief, prior to commencement of or during proceedings, sometimes referred to as "interlocutory" injunctions (or, in the US, a preliminary Injunction).
