An injunction is a powerful and urgent legal remedy, used to protect individuals, businesses, and assets from harm or unlawful actions. At The Law Firm Group, our experienced solicitors understand the complexities and sensitivities that often surround injunction proceedings. Whether you are seeking immediate protection or have been served with an injunction, our dedicated team is here to guide you with clear, practical legal advice and unwavering support throughout the process.
What Is an Injunction?
An injunction is a court order that either compels a party to do something or restrains them from taking certain actions. Injunctions are used to prevent harm, maintain status quo, or preserve rights until a full legal hearing can take place. They can be temporary (interim) or permanent, depending on the circumstances and urgency of the matter.
Common types of injunctions include:
- Non-molestation and occupation orders – often used in cases of domestic abuse or harassment.
- Freezing injunctions – to stop someone from dealing with assets before a court judgment.
- Search orders – allowing the search of premises to prevent destruction of evidence.
- Restraining orders – to prevent specific acts or behaviour.
When Might You Need an Injunction?
Injunctions are typically sought in urgent or high-stakes situations, such as:
- Protecting yourself or your children from threats, violence, or harassment.
- Preventing an individual or company from unlawfully disposing of assets or confidential information.
- Stopping ongoing breaches of contract or intellectual property rights.
- Preserving business interests in commercial disputes.
If you find yourself facing any of these circumstances, it is crucial to seek expert legal advice promptly. Time can be of the essence in injunction matters, and the court’s decision may have a lasting impact on your rights and security.
The Legal Process for Obtaining an Injunction
The injunction process can move quickly, especially in cases where immediate protection is required. Here’s what you can typically expect with The Law Firm Group:
Initial Consultation
Our specialist solicitors begin by listening carefully to your concerns and reviewing any relevant documents or evidence. We explain your legal position and the options available, ensuring you fully understand the implications and requirements of seeking (or contesting) an injunction.
Preparing Your Application
Our team prepares all necessary paperwork, including detailed witness statements and supporting evidence. Where appropriate, we can apply to the court on an emergency basis, sometimes without notifying the other party (known as ‘without notice’ or ex parte applications) if there is a risk of harm or asset dissipation.
Court Proceedings
If the court grants an interim injunction, a further hearing will usually be scheduled, where both parties can present their case. Our solicitors represent you at each stage, advocating robustly for your interests and negotiating with the opposing side where possible to achieve the best outcome.
Ongoing Support and Enforcement
Once an injunction is in place, The Law Firm Group continues to support you, advising on compliance, variations, or enforcement should the order be breached. We provide clear guidance to ensure you remain protected and informed throughout.
