法律英语中的Injunction是什么意思？

禁制令。法院签发的要求当事人做某事或某行为或者禁止其做某事或某行为的命令。它是一项衡平法（equity）上的救济措施。当普通法上对 某种损害行为不能提供充分的救济时，便可寻求以禁制令来作为补救。它主要用于防止将来某种损害行为的发生，而不是对已发生的损害给予补偿，或者是对不能以金钱来衡量或者给予金钱损害赔偿并非恰当的解决方式的损害行为提供救济。根据其内容是要求做一定行为还是禁止做一定行为，可分为命令性禁制令（mandatory injunction）和禁止性禁制令（restrictive injunction）。以下是维基百科中对其的定义：

An injunction is a legal and equitable remedy in the form of a special court order that compels a party to do or refrain from specific acts.[1] "When a court employs the extraordinary remedy of injunction, it directs the conduct of a party, and does so with the backing of its full coercive powers."[2] A party that fails to comply with an injunction faces criminal or civil penalties, including possible monetary sanctions and even imprisonment. They can also be charged with contempt of court. Counterinjunctions are injunctions that stop or reverse the enforcement of another injunction.
