Injunctions in Civil Litigation: "An Assessment to Ascertain the Relevance of Injunctions in Kenya's Jurisprudential System" (Paperback)

A temporary injunction is an order made in the early stages of a lawsuit or petition which prohibits the parties from doing an act in order to preserve the status quo until a pleading ruling or outcome. The main purpose of such an injunction is to keep the parties, while the suit is pending, as much as possible in the respective positions they occupied when the suit began and to preserve the court's ability to render a meaningful decision after a trial on the merits.
