ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on describing the principal forms of injunction and on the recent, newsworthy disputes about super-injunctions and privacy. It considers several types of commercial injunction which were created in the 20th century by the courts to meet the justice of the case. Courts will often err on the side of keeping everything in position until trial, but they have a weakness for not preventing people from carrying on their businesses for the many months that can pass until a trial is held. In the case of an interim injunction, there will not have been a trial of the issues between the parties. Therefore, the court will not have had the opportunity to form an opinion on the merits of the case. In relation to a final injunction, the court will have heard full evidence from all relevant parties and will have conducted a full trial of all relevant issues.
