The courts
injunction
A court order requiring someone to do, or stop doing, something. Violating one is contempt of court.
In full
Injunctions are how courts control conduct rather than just award damages: a preliminary injunction preserves the status quo while a case proceeds, and a permanent one issues after final judgment. In suits against the government, the scope question, whether relief should cover only the plaintiffs or reach nationwide, is fiercely contested.
