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 Michigan, 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 activities, while an affirmative injunction requires them to undertake specific actions. Injunctions are often sought to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of a legal action to prevent irreparable harm or to preserve the subject matter of the litigation. Michigan courts can issue temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or permanent injunctions, depending on the stage of the proceedings and the immediacy and severity of the harm being addressed. The process for obtaining an injunction typically involves filing a complaint or motion, demonstrating the likelihood of success on the merits of the case, the potential for irreparable harm without the injunction, the balance of harm favoring the party seeking the injunction, and the public interest. The specific statutes and court rules governing injunctions in Michigan can be found in the Michigan Court Rules and relevant Michigan Compiled Laws.
