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 New Hampshire, 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 cause harm or injustice, 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 obtain an injunction in New Hampshire, the party seeking the injunction must file a request with the court and typically must 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, among others, when deciding whether to grant the injunction. Both state statutes and rules of civil procedure govern the issuance of injunctions, and the specific requirements may vary depending on the nature of the case and the type of injunction sought.
