Understanding injunctions
An injunction is a court order that requires someone to do, or to stop doing, a specific act to prevent harm to your business.
An injunction can make a critical difference if you face threats to your business by preventing harm and protecting rights.

Injunctions FAQs
We understand you might be looking for answers, so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help get you started.
Common injunctions include interim injunctions (temporary orders until trial), final injunctions (lasting orders), and specific performance injunctions requiring a party to fulfil contractual duties. We help identify which type suits your case best.
Urgency varies by case, but we prioritise fast action. Interim injunctions can often be secured very quickly when immediate harm exists. We keep you informed of likely timelines from the outset.
Courts require clear evidence of potential harm and other losses without an injunction and that damages themselves would not be an adequate remedy. We work with you to build a strong factual and legal case aligned with these criteria.
While injunctions can protect your business, wrongful or unnecessary applications may lead to costs or damages payable to the opposing party. We carefully assess risk and advise on the best path, offering reassurance through our expert guidance.
