A breach of contract occurs when a party fails to fulfill obligations under a legally binding agreement or indicates an intention not to do so. It can result in remedies like damages, injunctions, or specific performance.
An injunction is a judicial remedy awarded to restrain a particular activity; originally used by courts of equity to prevent conduct contrary to equity and good conscience. It is a preventive measure aimed at averting future harm rather than addressing past injuries.
A restraining order is a legal order issued by a court without prior notice or need for a hearing, demanding the preservation of the status quo until a formal hearing can be conducted to determine the need for injunctive relief, either temporary or permanent. Commonly referred to as a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO).
