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.
Generally, injunctive relief is only available when there is no other adequate remedy available and irreparable harm will result if the relief is not granted.
Injunctions remain widely used to require government officials to comply with the Constitution, and they are also frequently used in private law disputes about intellectual property, real property, and contracts.
Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction , is a court-ordered remedy which restricts a party from committing specific actions or requires a party to complete specific actions.
The injunctive relief clause is a contractual provision that allows a party to seek a court-ordered injunction to prevent the other party from engaging in specific actions that could cause irreparable harm.
The party seeking a preliminary injunction must demonstrate that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted. Irreparable harm means that the harm cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages or any other remedy except an injunction.
To warrant preliminary injunctive relief, the moving party must show (1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, (2) that it would suffer irrepa- rable injury if the injunction were not granted, (3) that an injunction would not substantially injure other interested parties, and (4) that the public interest ...
(11) A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction bears the burden of presenting facts which show a reasonable probability that he will succeed on the merits.
A preliminary injunction bond is generally required to be posted by the plaintiff in a court case when a plaintiff wants to prevent the other party (the defendant) from a certain action. This type of bond indemnifies the defendant against loss if it is determined that the injunction should not have been granted.
To obtain a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff must establish “that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest.” Winter v.
