Injunction

Definition: A court order requiring a person to do something or refrain from specified conduct.

Example

A court orders an owner to stop construction that violates an enforceable restriction.

Keep the distinction clear

An injunction concerns conduct; damages compensate for loss. A cease-and-desist order may come from a regulator under separate statutory authority.
