Injunction

An injunction is a court order used to restrain conduct or protect a position where later relief may not adequately address the harm. Applications can be urgent, and the evidence and form of order sought must be considered carefully.

More about Injunction

• We advise and represent clients seeking or responding to injunctions in commercial and civil disputes: This includes anti-suit injunctions, which may be sought to restrain proceedings in another forum; Fortuna injunctions, which concern the presentation or continuation of winding-up petitions; and Mareva injunctions, which seek to prevent the disposal of assets while a claim is pending. Each type of injunction serves a different purpose and is subject to its own legal requirements.

Core Elements of Injunction

• Our work includes assessing: the available evidence, preparing affidavits and submissions, attending hearings and advising on the terms and effect of an order. We also assist clients who need to oppose, vary or discharge an injunction. Because an injunction can affect a party before the underlying dispute is decided, we focus on identifying the precise protection required and the practical consequences for everyone involved. We advise clients promptly on the available steps and the information needed to support their position.
