Injunctive relief is a legal remedy that requires a party to do or refrain from doing a specific action. It is often sought in cases where monetary damages are insufficient to resolve a dispute. For example, if a property owner wants to stop a neighbor from building a fence that violates zoning laws, they may request an injunction to prevent the construction. This type of relief can be temporary or permanent. A court may issue a temporary injunction to maintain the status quo while a case is being decided, or a permanent injunction may be granted after a full hearing. Injunctive relief aims to protect rights and prevent harm.
