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 Rhode Island, 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 unjust, while an affirmative injunction requires them to take specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo, preventing further harm or change until the underlying legal issues can be resolved. To obtain an injunction in Rhode Island, the party seeking the injunction must file a complaint and demonstrate that they will suffer immediate and irreparable harm without the court's intervention, that they have a likelihood of success on the merits of the case, and that the balance of equities tips in their favor. The court will consider these factors and may grant a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction, depending on the stage of the case and the immediacy of the harm.
