Caption
Court name, case number, party names, and counsel identification. The caption ties the application to an existing proceeding or initiates a new case file for the court to docket.
Electronic completion and submission of an injunction form are generally recognized under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA (1999) where adopted; exceptions include certain court filings and testamentary instruments, so verify local court rules before e-submission.
Courts, litigants, and counsel commonly prepare and use injunction forms as part of civil litigation to secure equitable relief quickly.
Roles vary by stage: emergency ex parte filings require rapid court review, while preliminary and permanent injunctions follow fuller adversary procedures and hearings.
The petitioner or their counsel prepares and signs the motion or application and any supporting affidavit. Counsel certifies factual statements under penalty of perjury and is responsible for proper service and meeting local rule requirements for emergency relief.
A judge or authorized court official signs the order granting or denying an injunction. Only a judge’s signed order creates enforceable injunctive relief; clerks record filings and enter docket notations but do not create relief without judicial signature.
Court name, case number, party names, and counsel identification. The caption ties the application to an existing proceeding or initiates a new case file for the court to docket.
