FAQ
Massachusetts Rule 65 of Civil Procedure allows those in litigation to bring a motion for an injunction against the other party. At Law Offices of Alan M. Cohen & Associates LLC, we often use injunctions to prevent debtors from hiding their assets.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory. A prohibitory injunction is the most common form of injunction, and directs a party to refrain from acting in a certain manner.
Standard for Preliminary Injunctive Relief: What matters as to each party is not the raw amount of irreparable harm the party might conceivably suffer, but rather the risk of such harm in light of the party's chance of success on the merits.
Understanding Burden of Proof The burden of proof refers to the obligation of a party in a legal proceeding to prove or disprove a disputed fact. In civil and criminal cases, the burden of proof determines which party must present evidence to establish the truth of the matter at issue.
The standard in civil cases is the “preponderance of evidence,” meaning the plaintiff must prove that their claims are more likely valid than not. ing to the Legal Information Institute, “51% certainty is the threshold” for meeting the preponderance of evidence standard in most civil cases.
A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R Mahadevan held that suit for injunction simpliciter can be filed only if the defendant does not raise any dispute with regard to title of the property. The Supreme Court held this in the case of Krushna Chandra Behera & Ors v. Narayan Nayak & Ors. (2024).
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.
Write a short and plain statement of the claim. Do not make legal arguments. State as briefly as possible the facts showing that each plaintiff is entitled to the injunction or other relief sought.
Legal Standards: To obtain a preliminary injunction, the requesting party must demonstrate: The likelihood of success on the merits of the case. That irreparable harm is likely to occur if the injunction is not granted. The balance of harms weighs in favor of the injunction being issued.
Emergency injunctions are legal pleas for the court to take action to preserve the status quo while the legal process is underway. The idea is that unless the court intervenes, irreparable harm will be done.
