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 Minnesota, an injunction is a legal remedy that can be issued by a court to require a party to either refrain from specific acts (prohibitory injunction) or to perform specific acts (affirmative injunction). The purpose of an injunction is often to maintain the status quo pending a final decision on the matter at hand. To obtain an injunction, 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, that the harm to them outweighs any harm the injunction may cause the opposing party, and that the injunction would not be adverse to the public interest. Minnesota courts can issue temporary restraining orders (TROs), temporary injunctions, and permanent injunctions, depending on the stage of the case and the immediacy and severity of the harm to be prevented. The process and requirements for obtaining an injunction are governed by the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure, and parties often seek the assistance of an attorney to navigate the legal complexities involved.
