What is a motion for a permanent injunction?

A motion for a permanent injunction is a legal request for a court order to prohibit or restrict an action that is currently occurring or has yet to occur. In Idaho, a motion for a permanent injunction must be made in a civil lawsuit. This type of motion is often requested when there is a need to stop a defendant from infringing on a plaintiff’s rights or from committing an ongoing harm. To make a motion for a permanent injunction in an Idaho court, the plaintiff must provide facts that establish a valid cause of action. The plaintiff must also provide evidence that the injury suffered is irreparable (cannot be easily remedied with money), and that the harm caused by the defendant’s actions outweighs any benefit that the defendant may gain from continuing the action. The court may also consider if other remedies were available and if the plaintiff has used them. If the court grants a motion for a permanent injunction, it will order the defendant to stop the action in question or impose restrictions on the action. The court order will be binding and enforceable until the case is concluded. Failure to abide by the court order may result in legal penalties.
