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 Idaho, 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, while an affirmative injunction requires them to undertake specific actions. The purpose of an injunction is often to preserve the status quo until the court can make a final decision on the matter at hand. To obtain an injunction in Idaho, the party seeking the injunction must file a complaint and demonstrate that they will suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the case, and that the balance of equities tips in their favor. The court will consider these factors and may grant a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction, depending on the stage of the case and the urgency of the situation. Idaho's Rules of Civil Procedure, along with relevant state statutes and case law, govern the issuance of injunctions.
