Every circuit court shall have jurisdiction to award injunctions, including cases involving violations of the Uniform Statewide Building Code, whether the judgment or proceeding enjoined be in or out of the circuit, or the party against whose proceedings the injunction be asked resides in or out of the circuit.
Virginia Code § 19.2-152.10(G) allows either party to a protection order to file a written motion with the court to dissolve (or modify) the protection order. Although the statute allows either party to file a written motion, the court will only make a decision after listening to evidence.
There are essentially two conditions requested for mandatory injunctions: (a) the defendant must be obliged to perform an act and any such breach of the obliged act must be claimed by the plaintiff; (b) the reliefs, as asked for, must be enforceable by the court.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relief available through an injunction: prohibitory and mandatory. A prohibitory injunction is the most common form of injunction, and directs a party to refrain from acting in a certain manner.
§ 8.01-623. Injunction against decree subject to bill of review; limitations to bill of review. A court allowing a bill of review may award an injunction to the decree to be reviewed.
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.
Injunctive relief usually takes one of three forms: temporary restraining order (TRO), preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction. As their modifying terms imply, each has a different level of the time commitment involved.
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 ...
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.
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.
