An injunction is a legal ruling by a judge that mandates an individual or other entity to either stop or start some action. The three main instances of an injunction are restraining orders, preliminary (temporary) injunctions, and permanent injunctions.
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 ...
In the case of a hearing, the applicant will present their arguments to a judge. If the judge is persuaded to make an order, they will grant an interim injunction and list a 'return hearing'. At the return hearing, the court will listen to the arguments of both parties and decide whether to make a 'final injunction'.
After a summons with notice is served, the defendant will demand that the plaintiff serve a complaint. The plaintiff must then have the complaint served within 20 days after being served with the demand, or the case may be dismissed.
For example, the complaint must adequately state a legal claim against the defendant, and the proof offered in support of the preliminary injunction motion must demonstrate that the defendant's conduct entitles the plaintiff to relief under each legal theory alleged.
Write a short and plain statement of the claim. Do not make legal arguments. State as briefly as possible the facts showing that each plaintiff is entitled to the injunction or other relief sought.

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.
