AN INJUNCTION is a court order telling an individual that they are not permitted to do certain acts. This is usually in the case of a break up, in which one party harasses, threatens or assaults the other.
These most common injunctions are called 'Domestic Violence Injunctions' and work in a similar way to a restraining order.
Another well known form of injunction is one in which there is prevention of publishing material about a person. These are usually taken out by celebrities (e.g Ryan Giggs) who do not want unsavoury details of their past aired in the media. These are also called 'Gag Orders'.
There are also injunctions against individuals leaving the country, selling their assets, stopping an opponent from removing your child either from your care or out of the country etc.
