Injunctive relief consists of a court order called an injunction, requiring an individual to do or not do a specific action. It is an extraordinary remedy that courts utilize in special cases where preservation of the status quo or taking some specific action is required in order to prevent possible injustice. (USLegal)

Lawsuits frequently take a long time, and the passage of time can itself be an injustice. A judgment in an action concerning whether the defendant has the right to cut down certain trees, for instance, will be of little value if, while the suit is pending, the trees have already been cut down. For this reason, legal systems generally provide so-called provisional remedies that enable the plaintiff to obtain some guarantees that any judgment obtained against the defendant will not be in vain. [...] Some remedies serve to prevent the disappearance either of funds required for the payment of the eventual judgment or of specific property involved in litigation. This purpose is served by attachment (bringing the property under the custody of the law), replevin (an action to recover property taken unlawfully), or other similar remedies. The remedy usually is granted by a judge at the request of the plaintiff, upon a showing of facts that make it probable that the plaintiff has a good claim and that the plaintiff’s rightful recovery is threatened by delay.
