Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory.
An injunction or temporary restraining order is an order from the court prohibiting a party from performing or ordering a specified act, either temporarily or permanently.
There are two types of an injunction. There is a temporary and a permanent injunction. The temporary injunction can last no longer than 15 days without the consent of both parties. A permanent injunction can last forever unless the judge modifies that injunction at the request of either party.
To seek a permanent injunction, the plaintiff must pass the four-step test: (1) that the plaintiff has suffered an irreparable injury; (2) that remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate to compensate for the injury; (3) that the remedy in equity is warranted upon consideration of the balance ...
A permanent injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action that is issued as a final judgment in a case.
If a Permanent Injunction is granted, it will be effective until it is changed or ended by the judge at either party's request, after notice and hearing, or until a specific date set by the judge (i.e., 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, etc.).
Process For Obtaining An Injunction A petition (application) for an injunction for protection is available through the Clerk of the Court. You can call the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence at 800-500-1119 or your local domestic violence center for more information on how to proceed.
Per Sec. 37(2) of Specific Relief Act- A perpetual injunction can only be granted by the decree made at the hearing and upon the merits of the suit; the defendant is thereby perpetually prevented from the assertion of a right, or from the commission of an act, which woud be contrary to the rights of the plaintiff.
