Injunctive relief is a court-ordered remedy that compels or prevents specific actions when monetary damages are inadequate and irreparable harm is likely. It includes temporary and permanent injunctions, which aim to maintain the status quo or provide long-term protection after a legal decision.
An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. There are three types of injunctions: Permanent injunctions , Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions . Temporary restraining orders (TRO) and preliminary injunctions are equitable in nature.
Injunction – Disadvantages Aside from specific performance, where a court forces a party to fulfill a contractual obligation, it is more difficult to use an injunction to force another party to do something. Also, parties may have only a limited amount of time to petition the court for an injunction.

Injunctions are equitable remedies, meaning they are discretionary and are granted when monetary compensation (damages) is not an adequate remedy.
The aim of a damages undertaking is to compensate any party that is harmed by an unfair injunction. For example, you could seek an injunction to stop a competing business from selling a certain product in Australia. That injunction is granted, but then overturned a year later when you lose the court case.
