Injunction
A court order prohibiting certain activity. See Temporary Order Temporary Restraining Order Injunctions are generally "negative," i.e., they prohibit certain activities. Injunctions which require certain activity are called "affirmative" injunctions. Outside divorce, most injunctions are "negative." It would be impossible to enforce certain affirmative orders, such as requiring an opera singer to sing. Affirmative injunctions are more common in divorce cases especially since they relate to minor children, often covering to visitation. Property-related injunctions are also common, usually restricting the sale or transfer of property, borrowing, and spending on non-necessities. See Restraining Order. | ||||

Injunction
An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a court order, whereby a party is required to do, or to refrain from doing, certain acts. The party that fails to adhere to the injunction faces civil or criminal penalties and may have to pay damages or accept sanctions for failing to follow the court's order. In some cases, breaches of injunctions are considered serious criminal offences that merit arrest and possible prison sentences.
