What is an injunction?

An injunction is a legal order that requires a person or entity to either do something or stop doing something in order to protect the rights of another person or entity. In the context of debtor and creditor law in Florida, it is an order issued by a court that restricts a creditor from taking certain action against a debtor, such as harassing the debtor or seizing the debtor’s property. It is usually issued when the court finds that the creditor’s actions are causing the debtor to suffer harm or potential harm. An injunction may also be issued as an injunction to restrain a creditor from attempting to collect a debt or from continuing any foreclosure proceedings. In that capacity, it serves as a protection for the debtor and a way for a court to overrule creditor’s rights in those cases. Injunctions are a powerful tool for debtors in Florida courts and can stop a creditor from using certain tactics to collect a debt or to foreclose on a property.
