FAQ
A party seeking an injunction under general Florida case law must demonstrate: 1) irreparable harm; 2) a clear legal right; 3) an inadequate remedy at law; 4) consideration of the public interest.
During normal working hours, a Petition for Injunction can be filed with the Clerk's Office. In some counties, local agencies will assist with filling out the needed forms. Once the forms are completed, the clerk will file the petition and notify the judge's office.
If the judge decides the sworn allegations contained in the paperwork meet the requirements of Florida law for the issuance of an injunction, the judge will enter a Temporary Injunction, which will be valid for 15 days.
An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. There are three types of injunctions: Permanent injunctions , Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions . Temporary restraining orders (TRO) and preliminary injunctions are equitable in nature.
If you feel you have been stalked, harassed, threatened, the victim of violence or are in imminent danger of becoming a victim of violence by the other person, you have the right to petition the court for an injunction against the other person in your case.
Standard of Proof In Florida, a petitioner for an injunction must establish by “preponderance of the evidence” (i.e. greater weight of the evidence) that he or she is either a victim of domestic violence or is in imminent danger of being a victim of domestic violence. See: Rollins v. Rollins, 336 So.
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.
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.
A temporary injunction is issued immediately, before all the matters in the case can be heard. As the name implies, it is only temporary—it can be overturned if, during the full trial later on, or based on settlement between the parties, something changes.
