An injunction is a court order requiring the parties to whom it is addressed (the enjoined parties) not to engage in certain activity (a prohibitory injunction) or to engage in certain activity (an affirmative injunction), and is usually designed to maintain the current state of things (the status quo).
In Arizona, an injunction is a legal remedy issued by a court that commands or prohibits specific actions by the parties to whom it is directed. This can take the form of a prohibitory injunction, which stops a party from performing a particular act, or an affirmative injunction, which requires a party to take a specific action. Injunctions are often sought to preserve the status quo pending the outcome of a legal action. To obtain an injunction in Arizona, the requesting party must typically demonstrate that they will suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, that legal remedies are inadequate, and that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the case. Injunctions can be issued in various contexts, including business disputes, property disputes, and domestic relations. Specific procedures and requirements for obtaining an injunction are outlined in the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure and relevant state statutes.
