What is an ‘injunction’?

An injunction is a type of court order that is made by a judge that instructs a person or organization to do a certain thing or to take a specific action, or to stop doing something. In the context of art law in South Carolina, an injunction might be issued to halt the sale or production of a particular piece of artwork. The injunction would prevent the work from being sold, rented, or used in any way, until the court order is fulfilled. The purpose of this type of court order is to protect the rights and interests of the owner or the artist in the artwork. An injunction can also be used to protect the public from harm, or to ensure that a dispute between two parties is settled in accordance with the law. In addition, an injunction can be used to protect the interests of an artist or creator in their work, such as preventing someone from copying their artwork without permission.
