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 Wisconsin, 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 violate the rights of the other party. Conversely, an affirmative injunction requires the parties to take specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo, preventing further harm or change until the court can fully resolve the matter at hand. Wisconsin statutes and case law govern the issuance of injunctions, and they can be granted in various circumstances, such as in cases of harassment, domestic abuse, or where immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage is likely to occur. The process for obtaining an injunction typically involves filing a petition with the court, and in urgent situations, a temporary restraining order (TRO) may be issued pending a formal hearing for the injunction.
