A preliminary injunction bond is generally required to be posted by the plaintiff in a court case when a plaintiff wants to prevent the other party (the defendant) from a certain action. This type of bond indemnifies the defendant against loss if it is determined that the injunction should not have been granted.
The plaintiff has the burden of proving that the defendant has breached the contract and that injunctive relief is necessary to prevent further harm. The plaintiff must also prove that the harm caused by the breach cannot be adequately compensated through monetary damages alone.
