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 South Carolina, 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 resolution of the legal issue at hand. To obtain an injunction in South Carolina, the requesting party must typically 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 is in their favor. The process for seeking an injunction is governed by the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure, and the specific statutes applicable to the case may also outline additional requirements or considerations.
