An '''injunction''' is an order from a [[court of law]] requiring a specific action to stop and not be resumed in the future.<ref>http://law.freeadvice.com/general_practice/legal_remedies/injunction_order.htm</ref> In some infrequent cases an injunction may be a court order ordering a specific action to occur.  

An '''injunction''' is an order of a [[court of law]] exercising [[equity|equitable jurisdiction]] which directs an individual to either do, or cease doing, a specific action.<ref>http://law.freeadvice.com/general_practice/legal_remedies/injunction_order.htm</ref> Cases where a court will order an individual to do an action are far rarer than cases where the court will prohibit an action and are referred to as mandatory injunctions.  

An injunction is a prohibitive order or remedy issued by the court at the suit of the complaining party, which forbids the defendant to do some act which he is threatening or attempting to do. Conversely, it may require him to perform an act which he is obligated to perform but refuses to do.

Generally speaking an injunction will only issue if damages would be an inadequate remedy in the circumstances.
