Using an injunction carries disadvantages as well. For one, courts generally use injunctions only to prevent a party from doing something. Aside from specific performance, where a court forces a party to fulfill a contractual obligation, it is more difficult to use an injunction to force another party to do something.
Injunction (Permanent): A permanent order granted by a court that enforces an existing right. For example, a seller may have a right to sell their property. If a neighbor is violating the right to sell, a court may issue a permanent injunction to stop the neighbor from acting in a way that would prevent the sale.
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 ...
If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side.
An injunction gives the party that filed the motion temporary relief from the same action or activity that they're asking the court to halt as part of their larger case.
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 you do not respond with your own affidavit, the court may only have the evidence presented by the other party to consider, which could potentially impact the court's decision unfavorably against your interests.
Here's what generally happens if there's no response: Default Judgment: If the defendant, or their counsel, fails to respond to the summons within the specified time frame (usually 20 to 30 days depending on the jurisdiction), the plaintiff may request a default judgment.
Impact on Legal Rights: By not answering a summons, you effectively waive your right to defend yourself in court. This could have long-term implications, such as damage to your credit rating (if a monetary judgment is rendered against you), property liens, garnishment of wages, or other enforcement measures.
Steps Check if the court has blank motion forms. Some courts have "check the boxes" or "fill in the blank" motion forms. Create your caption. Title your motion. Draft the introductory paragraph to the body of the motion. Request relief. Lay out the applicable facts. Make your legal argument. Insert a signature block.
