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 Missouri, 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 violate the rights of the other party. Conversely, an affirmative injunction requires the parties to take specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo, preventing further harm or change until the court can make a final decision on the matter at hand. The process for obtaining an injunction in Missouri typically involves filing a petition with the court, demonstrating the necessity for immediate relief to prevent irreparable harm, and possibly providing notice to the opposing party. The court then considers the legal and factual basis for the injunction and may grant a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction, depending on the circumstances and the stage of the litigation.
