Civil procedure

injunctions

An injunction is a court order requiring the parties to whom it is addressed (the enjoined parties) not to engage in certain activity (a prohibitory injunction) or to engage in certain activity (an affirmative injunction), and is usually designed to maintain the current state of things (the status quo).

In Georgia, an injunction is a legal remedy issued by a court that commands or prohibits specific actions by the parties involved. A prohibitory injunction prevents the enjoined parties from performing certain acts, while an affirmative injunction requires them to take specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo pending the resolution of a legal dispute to prevent irreparable harm. The process for obtaining an injunction in Georgia typically involves the party seeking the injunction to file a complaint and a motion for injunctive relief, demonstrating the necessity for such an order. The court will consider factors such as the likelihood of success on the merits of the case, the potential for irreparable harm without the injunction, the balance of harms between the parties, and the public interest. Georgia courts can issue temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and permanent injunctions, depending on the stage of the case and the urgency of the situation.
