District of Columbia (DC) Order Granting Preliminary Injunction is a legal document issued by a court in the District of Columbia that temporarily restrains a party from engaging in certain activities or actions until a final decision can be reached in a case. One type of District of Columbia Order Granting Preliminary Injunction is known as a "Temporary Restraining Order" (TO). A TO is typically issued at the beginning of a lawsuit, and it remains in effect for a short period of time, usually until a hearing can be scheduled for a more permanent injunction. The purpose of a TO is to maintain the status quo and prevent irreparable harm to a party while the case is pending. Another type of District of Columbia Order Granting Preliminary Injunction is a "Preliminary Injunction." This injunction provides more long-term relief and may be granted after a hearing where both parties have an opportunity to present evidence and arguments. It is typically issued when the court determines that there is a likelihood of success on the merits and that the requesting party will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted.
