What is a motion for a permanent injunction?

A motion for a permanent injunction is a legal request made in civil court proceedings in Delaware. It is made by a plaintiff (the person or entity bringing a lawsuit) against a defendant (the person or entity being sued). Its purpose is to ask the court to order a defendant to do something or to not do something. In Delaware, a motion for a permanent injunction is a common way for a plaintiff to try to stop a defendant from continuing an activity that the plaintiff believes is causing harm to a person or property. In order to receive a permanent injunction, the plaintiff must show to the court that the activity is causing them and/or those they represent irreparable harm or losses. The court must also find that a permanent injunction is the best way to prevent future harm. Finally, a permanent injunction must be specific about what the defendant is required to do or not do, and the length of time it must remain in place. If the court grants a permanent injunction, the defendant must adhere to it or face additional penalties. If the defendant does not comply with the injunction, the plaintiff may file a motion for contempt for violating a court order.
