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 Oklahoma, an injunction is a legal remedy issued by a court that commands or prohibits specific actions by the parties involved in a legal dispute. A prohibitory injunction prevents the enjoined parties from performing certain acts, while an affirmative injunction requires them to perform certain acts. The purpose of an injunction is often to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of a lawsuit, to prevent irreparable harm, or to preserve the subject matter of the litigation. Oklahoma statutes and rules of civil procedure outline the process for obtaining an injunction, including the requirements for a temporary restraining order (TRO), a preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction. The party seeking an injunction must typically demonstrate that they will suffer immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage without the injunction and that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the case. The court will consider the balance of equities and the public interest when deciding whether to grant an injunction.
