ABSTRACT

The injunction is an equitable remedy. It is at the discretion of the court to make an order to either party to litigation, or by way of a final judgment, to take some action or to refrain from some action. The broadest discretion of the court is required at this point. Injunctions can be used in a broad range of factual situations, from family

relief sought by one or other of the parties in parallel to claims for damages and other remedies, whereas at other times the injunction is the sole remedy required by the claimant. Section 37(1) of the Supreme Court Act 1981 provides that ‘The High Court may by order (whether interlocutory or final) grant an injunction…in all cases in which it appears to the court to be just and convenient to do so’.
