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.
Civil injunctions in Florida are public record, but are typically not easily accessible to the general public to protect the privacy of the petitioner.
