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.
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.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory.
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 ...
Examples: Permanent injunctions are often issued in cases involving ongoing nuisances, such as a factory emitting harmful pollutants, or in cases of trademark infringement, where a company is permanently prohibited from using a trademark that belongs to another business.
First, an injunction is a court order delivered in a civil trial or suit. This court order stops the defendant from pursuing a certain activity. This can include constructing a new building, pursuing a business venture, or making transactions that are harmful to the plaintiff.
