The California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP-527) covers both preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders. A party seeking a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order may be required to post a bond, which is even more likely with a preliminary injunction.
The equitable remedies are specific performance (an order directing a person to deliver to the buyer the unique thing the seller contracted to sell), injunction (an order directing a person to stop doing that which he should not do), and restitution (the return by one party of the benefit conferred on him when the ...
Some jurisdictions may require the party seeking equitable relief to post a bond or other security prior to granting such relief. The purpose of this requirement is to protect the party against which equitable relief is sought in the event it is ultimately determined that such relief was not appropriate.
Equitable relief is usually a remedy for a breach of contract or in cases of intellectual property theft. A common form of equitable relief is the canceling of a contract, which ends all terms and obligations, allowing both parties to return to their pre-contract status.
Injunctive relief in a breach of contract claim is a court-ordered legal remedy whereby the court orders a party to either do something or refrain from doing something. Injunctive relief is sought when a breach of contract threatens to cause irreparable harm that can't be adequately compensated by monetary damages.

Preliminary injunctions and bonds. A party requesting a preliminary injunction may give notice of the request to the opposing or responding party either by serving a noticed motion under Code of Civil Procedure section 1005 or by obtaining and serving an order to show cause (OSC).
The remedies of specific performance and injunction are similar, but the key difference is that while an order for specific performance orders a party to do something, an injunction orders a party not to do something. In other words, specific performance is a positive remedy whereas, an injunction is a negative remedy.

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 ...
