An injunction is an order from a court of law requiring a specific action to stop and not be resumed in the future.[1] In some infrequent cases an injunction may be a court order ordering a specific action to occur.
An injunction is a prohibitive order or remedy issued by the court at the suit of the complaining party, which forbids the defendant to do some act which he is threatening or attempting to do. Conversely, it may require him to perform an act which he is obligated to perform but refuses to do.
