Most lawyers are familiar with some basic ways to enforce money judgments. But what about injunctions? One of the most flexible ways to enforce an injunction is with the contempt power of the court. It permits a variety of different remedies that are available to creative lawyers and judges.
Prima facie case is a must to be eligible to obtain a temporary injunction. A permanent injunction can be granted by the court by passing a decree made at the hearing and upon the merits of the suit. The court can grant an injunction to not do certain acts, which are prohibited by the contract to do.
It is also important that you do not take any steps which might breach the terms of the injunction in any way, as a breach of an injunction is generally punishable as a contempt of Court which in some circumstances can lead to imprisonment.
To get an injunction order, you must file an application, including a written statement of the aggrieved, through a civil lawyer at the appropriate court. The process might take a while as parties are required to show evidence before the court, and the court will have to ultimately decide on the matter.
An application for an injunction can be made once Court proceedings have begun. Alternatively, the Court can grant an injunction before the start of Court proceedings if the matter is urgent or if it necessary in the interests of justice.
