What are injunctions?Show answer
An injunction is an equitable remedy and therefore discretionary. It may be prohibitory (ordering the defendant to stop doing something, for example to cease a nuisance) or mandatory (ordering the defendant to do something). Injunctions are particularly important in nuisance, where the claimant usually wants the interference stopped rather than just compensated.
