Injunction Relief is a court-ordered remedy that requires a person or entity to do or stop doing a specific act to prevent harm, preserve rights, or maintain the status quo during legal proceedings. It is commonly used in civil cases to prevent irreparable damage that monetary compensation alone cannot fix. Injunctions can be temporary or permanent, and are a key form of equitable relief, meaning they are granted based on fairness rather than financial restitution.
