What is an Injunction & Stay Order?

An injunction is a judicial order inhibiting or commanding a party from doing a particular act. For instance, preventing a person from selling controversial property. A stay order, however, temporarily suspends the proceedings or implementation of a ruling until the case is reconsidered. Both remedies are aimed at ensuring justice and safeguarding persons from irremediable loss.
  • Temporary Injunction – Granted in a case to preserve the status quo.
  • Permanent Injunction – Final order following hearing, restraining an act perpetually.
  • Mandatory Injunction – Orders a party to do something.
  • Stay Orders – To stop proceedings, action, or enforcement of orders.
