A temporary injunction is a court order that prevents a party from taking a specific action for a limited time. It is often requested during legal disputes to maintain the status quo and protect the interests of one party until a final decision is made. This type of injunction is typically issued before a trial and can be crucial in cases involving issues like property disputes or intellectual property. To obtain a temporary injunction, the requesting party must demonstrate that they are likely to succeed in their case, that they will suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, and that the benefits of granting the injunction outweigh any potential harm to the other party. This legal tool helps ensure fairness and justice while the court considers the matter in detail.
