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 Connecticut, 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 Connecticut, the requesting party must typically demonstrate that there is a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of the case, that they will suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, and that the balance of equities tips in their favor. The court also considers the public interest when deciding whether to grant an injunction. These legal principles are derived from both Connecticut state statutes and case law, and the specific procedures for obtaining an injunction are outlined in the Connecticut Practice Book, which governs civil procedure in the state's courts.
