FAQ
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. A court cannot grant a preliminary injunction without notice to the other party and a hearing. A preliminary injunction lasts until a further order of the court, which could happen while the case is still ongoing, or after a trial on the merits. This could be months, or even years.
In order to prevail in its request for a preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs must demonstrate: (1) they are likely to prevail on the merits; and (2) they will suffer irreparable harm if the preliminary injunction is not granted. Plaintiffs have met their burden for purposes of the preliminary injunction.
Overview. To get a preliminary injunction, a party must show that they will suffer irreparable harm unless the injunction is issued. Preliminary injunctions may only be issued after a hearing .
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.
Winning the Case: To secure a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff must demonstrate a strong chance of winning the case, significant harm without the injunction, greater fairness compared to the other party, and public benefit.
These courts consider: (1) the likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted; (3) whether a balancing of the relevant equities favors the injunction; and (4) whether the issuance of the injunction is in the public interest.
Winning the Case: To secure a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff must demonstrate a strong chance of winning the case, significant harm without the injunction, greater fairness compared to the other party, and public benefit.
Taking a medical malpractice lawsuit as an example, if a patient believes that their doctor has provided negligent medical care that has caused them harm, the patient may seek a preliminary injunction to prevent the doctor from continuing to provide care.
