I) an applicant must show a prima facie case with a probability of success; (ii) an injunction will not normally be granted unless the applicant might otherwise suffer irreparable injury; (iii) when the court is in doubt, it will decide the application on the balance of convenience.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory.
Injunctions may be granted to restrain a wide range of acts: a breach of contract, such as a contract against engaging in a competing business; the commission of a tort (e.g., a nuisance); an injury to property (e.g., the of a wall on the plaintiff's land); wrongful expulsion (e.g., from a club or a trade ...
TROs: A TRO can be requested if immediate harm or danger is shown. Preliminary Injunctions: These are used in serious cases where the harm to the plaintiff is significant and immediate, and the other party is not greatly affected.

Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction, is a remedy which restrains a party from doing certain acts or requires a party to act in a certain way.
An injunction generally may be temporary or permanent. A temporary injunction preserves the status quo and the rights of the parties until the court issues further orders. A permanent (or final) injunction may continue after an action concludes, either perpetually or until a specified date.
