<p>The injunction is an equitable remedy<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that was created by the English <a href="Court_of_equity" title="Court of equity">courts of equity</a>. Like other equitable remedies, it has traditionally been given when a wrong cannot be effectively remedied by an award of money damages. (The doctrine that reflects this is the requirement that an injunction can be given only when there is "no adequate remedy at law.") Injunctions are intended to make whole again someone whose rights have been violated. Nevertheless, when deciding whether to grant an injunction, courts also take into account the interests of non-parties (that is, the public interest). When deciding whether to give an injunction, and deciding what its scope should be, courts give special attention to questions of fairness and good faith. One manifestation of this is that injunctions are subject to equitable defenses, such as <a href="Laches_(equity)" title="Laches (equity)">laches</a> and <a href="Unclean_hands" class="mw-redirect" title="Unclean hands">unclean hands</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Little_Bit_of_Laches_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Little_Bit_of_Laches-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Injunctions are given in many different kinds of cases. They can prohibit future violations of the law, such as trespass to real property, infringement of a patent, or the violation of a constitutional right (e.g., the free exercise of religion). Or they can require the defendant to repair past violations of the law.
</p><p>An injunction can require someone to do something, like clean up an oil spill or remove a <a href="Spite_fence" title="Spite fence">spite fence</a>. Or it can prohibit someone from doing something, like using an illegally obtained trade secret. An injunction that requires conduct is called a "mandatory injunction." An injunction that prohibits conduct is called a "prohibitory injunction."<sup id="cite_ref-Dobbs_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dobbs-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many injunctions are both—that is, they have both mandatory and prohibitory components, because they require some conduct and forbid other conduct.
</p><p>When an injunction is given, it can be enforced with equitable enforcement mechanisms such as contempt.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It can also be modified or dissolved (upon a proper motion to the court) if circumstances change in the future.<sup id="cite_ref-Jost_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jost-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These features of the injunction allow a court granting one to manage the behavior of the parties.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="History">History</h4></div>
<p>Injunctions have been especially important at two moments in American history.
</p><p>First, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, federal courts used injunctions to break strikes by unions. For example, after the <a href="United_States_government" class="mw-redirect" title="United States government">United States government</a> successfully used an injunction to outlaw the <a href="Pullman_Strike" title="Pullman Strike">Pullman</a> boycott in 1894 in <i><a href="In_re_Debs" title="In re Debs">In re Debs</a></i>, employers found that they could obtain <a href="United_States_federal_courts" class="mw-redirect" title="United States federal courts">federal court</a> injunctions to ban strikes and organizing activities of all kinds by <a href="Trade_union" title="Trade union">unions</a>. These injunctions were often extremely broad; one injunction issued by a federal court in the 1920s effectively barred the <a href="United_Mine_Workers_of_America" title="United Mine Workers of America">United Mine Workers of America</a> from talking to workers who had signed <a href="Yellow_Dog_contract" class="mw-redirect" title="Yellow Dog contract">yellow dog</a> contracts with their employers. Unable to limit what they called "government by injunction" in the courts, labor and its allies persuaded the <a href="United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">United States Congress</a> in 1932 to pass the <a href="Norris-LaGuardia_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Norris-LaGuardia Act">Norris-LaGuardia Act</a>, which imposed so many procedural and substantive limits on the federal courts' power to issue injunctions that it effectively prohibited federal court from issuing injunctions in cases arising out of labor disputes. A number of states followed suit and enacted "Little Norris-LaGuardia Acts" that imposed similar limitations on state courts' powers. The courts have since recognized a limited exception to the Norris-LaGuardia Act's strict limitations in those cases in which a party seeks injunctive relief to enforce the <a href="Grievance_(labour)" title="Grievance (labour)">grievance</a> <a href="Arbitration" title="Arbitration">arbitration</a> provisions of a <a href="Collective_bargaining" title="Collective bargaining">collective bargaining</a> <a href="Contract" title="Contract">agreement</a>.
</p><p>Second, injunctions were crucial to the second half of the twentieth century in the desegregation of American schools. Federal courts gave injunctions that carried out the command of <i><a href="Brown_v_Board_of_Education" class="mw-redirect" title="Brown v Board of Education">Brown v Board of Education</a></i> to integrate public schools in the United States, and at times courts took over the management of public schools in order to ensure compliance. (An injunction that puts a court in the position of taking over and administering an institution—such as a school, a prison, or a hospital—is often called a "<a href="Structural_injunction" class="mw-redirect" title="Structural injunction">structural injunction</a>".)
</p><p>Injunctions remain widely used to require government officials to comply with the Constitution, and they are also frequently used in private law disputes about intellectual property, real property, and contracts. Many state and federal statutes, including <a href="Environmental_law" title="Environmental law">environmental statutes</a>, <a href="Civil_rights_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Civil rights law">civil rights statutes</a> and <a href="Employment_discrimination_law_in_the_United_States" title="Employment discrimination law in the United States">employment-discrimination statutes</a>, are enforced with injunctions.
</p><p>In <i><a href="Grupo_Mexicano_de_Desarrollo%2C_S.A._v._Alliance_Bond_Fund%2C_Inc." title="Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo, S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc.">Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo, S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc.</a></i> (1999), the Supreme Court stated that the scope of federal injunctive relief is constrained by the limits on equitable remedies that existed in the English <a href="Court_of_Chancery" title="Court of Chancery">Court of Chancery</a> around 1789.
</p><p>In 2025, United States Attorney General <a href="Pam_Bondi" title="Pam Bondi">Pam Bondi</a> and other Justice Department officials argued in a court filing that "an oral directive is not enforceable as an injunction", after the <a href="Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump" title="Second presidency of Donald Trump">second Trump administration</a> completed deportation flights despite a federal judge verbally ordering the flights to be returned to the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Injunctions in the United States tend to come in three main forms: temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions.<sup id="cite_ref-aba_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aba-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For both temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, the goal is usually to preserve the status quo until the court is able to decide the case.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Temporary_restraining_orders">Temporary restraining orders</h5></div>
<p>A special kind of injunction that may be issued before trial is called a "temporary restraining order" or TRO. A TRO may be issued without notice to the other party or a hearing. A TRO will be given only for a short period of time before a court can schedule a hearing at which the restrained person may appear and contest the order. If the TRO is contested, the court must decide whether to issue a preliminary injunction. Temporary restraining orders are often, but not exclusively, given to prevent domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or harassment.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Preliminary_injunctions">Preliminary injunctions</h5></div>
<p>Preliminary injunctions are given before trial. Because they are issued at an early stage, before the court has heard the evidence and made a decision in the case, they are more rarely given. The requirements for a preliminary injunction tend to be the same as for a permanent injunction, with the additional requirement that the party asking for the injunction is likely to succeed on the merits.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Permanent_injunctions">Permanent injunctions</h5></div>
<p>Permanent injunctions are issued after trial. Different federal and state courts sometimes have slightly different requirements for obtaining a permanent injunction.

<p>In England and Wales, injunctions whose existence and details may not be legally reported, in addition to facts or allegations which may not be disclosed, have been issued; they have been informally dubbed "super-injunctions".<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>An example was the super-injunction raised in September 2009 by <a href="Carter-Ruck" title="Carter-Ruck">Carter-Ruck</a> solicitors on behalf of oil trader <a href="Trafigura" title="Trafigura">Trafigura</a>, prohibiting the reporting of an internal Trafigura report into the <a href="2006_Ivory_Coast_toxic_waste_dump" title="2006 Ivory Coast toxic waste dump">2006 Ivory Coast toxic waste dump</a> scandal.
