Civil Injunctions: Protecting Your Liberties
At Dickstein Law, we understand that the right to reside in your home peacefully, the freedom to associate, and the liberty to express oneself are fundamental. However, these liberties can sometimes be compromised by legal actions, such as civil injunctions obtained on the grounds of harassment, stalking, or domestic violence. Such legal challenges can arise unexpectedly, often without any prior police investigation to verify the claims, or in cases where law enforcement might have been misled.

FAQs
A civil injunction is a court order that requires a person or entity to either stop doing a specific act or, in some cases, take a required action. It is an equitable remedy used in civil cases when monetary damages alone are not enough to prevent harm. Courts typically use injunctions to maintain the status quo or prevent ongoing or future harm while a legal dispute is being resolved.
A party may request a civil injunction when they can show that they are likely to suffer irreparable harm without immediate court intervention. Courts often evaluate whether monetary compensation would be insufficient, whether the requesting party is likely to succeed on the merits of the case, and whether the balance of harm favors granting the injunction. In urgent situations, a court may issue a temporary restraining order before a full hearing takes place.
Violating a civil injunction is a serious matter because it is a direct violation of a court order. If a person fails to comply, the court may hold them in contempt, which can result in penalties such as fines, sanctions, or even jail time in certain circumstances. Injunctions are enforceable legal orders, and courts treat noncompliance as interference with the judicial process.
