A special kind of injunction that may be issued before trial is called a "temporary restraining order" or TRO. A TRO may be issued without notice to the other party or a hearing.
Injunctions may preserve and safeguard assets or evidence, or may restrain people from committing certain acts. Mandatory orders require the other party to perform certain acts such as returning property.
The terms 'Interim Injunction' and 'Interlocutory Injunction' are often used interchangeably, however there is an important distinction. An Interlocutory Injunction is obtained prior to, and remains in force until, trial.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory.
There are two types of injunctions – an ex parte temporary injunction and a final injunction issued after notice to the respondent and a hearing. If the judge believes that you have been stalked and/or that there is an immediate and present danger of stalking, the judge may grant you an immediate ex parte order.
TROs: A TRO can be requested if immediate harm or danger is shown. Preliminary Injunctions: These are used in serious cases where the harm to the plaintiff is significant and immediate, and the other party is not greatly affected.
