Illustrate Injunctions

Question

Illustrate what do you mean by Injunctions?

Answer 1

Injunctions are court orders that require the offending party to do something or to refrain from doing something. They are used when compensatory damages are inadequate to replace what the plaintiff has lost. For instance, an injunction may restrain the defendant from trespassing on the plaintiff’s property; or in the case of conversion of property (wrongful exercise of control over another’s property), the court may order restitution, the restoring of the property to its rightful owner.
