Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction, is a remedy which restrains a party from doing certain acts or requires a party to act in a certain way. For the court to grant injunctive relief, the claimant must prove that without the injunction, they would suffer "irreparable harm.A preliminary injunction may be granted where it appears that the defendant threatens or is about to do an act in violation of the plaintiff's rights.
