Injunctions

Abstract

An injunction is an equitable remedy available for torts and breach of contract (and equitable wrongs) as well as being available in other situations outside the scope of this book. The approach adopted in this chapter will be to introduce briefly in this section the three important pairs of contrasting injunctions before going on in the next sections to examine in depth the principles governing the grant of each of the main types of injunction along with the function each performs as a remedy for torts and breach of contract. Although not an injunction, the final section of this chapter is considered the most appropriate place in this book to consider the remedy of the appointment of a receiver (and manager).
