Civil procedure

injunctions

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 Colorado, an injunction is a legal remedy issued by a court that commands or prohibits specific actions by the parties involved. A prohibitory injunction prevents the enjoined parties from performing certain activities that could be harmful or unjust, while an affirmative injunction requires them to take specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo pending a final decision on the matter at hand, to prevent irreparable harm, or to preserve the court's ability to render a meaningful judgment. The process for obtaining an injunction in Colorado typically involves the party seeking the injunction (the plaintiff) to file a complaint and a motion for a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction. The court will consider factors such as the likelihood of success on the merits, the potential for irreparable harm without the injunction, the balance of harms between the parties, and the public interest. If granted, the injunction remains in effect until the court issues a final ruling on the case or until further court order.
