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 Jersey, 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 acts, while an affirmative injunction requires them to undertake specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of a legal action to prevent irreparable harm. To obtain an injunction in New Jersey, the requesting party must typically demonstrate that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the case, that they are likely to suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, that the balance of hardships tips in their favor, and that the injunction is in the public interest. These legal principles are derived from both state statutes and case law, and the specific application can vary based on the context of the case and the discretion of the court.
