An injunction is a court order requiring the defendant to 1. Undertake 2. Refrain from undertaking Actions to rectify or prevent breach of rights Underbelly case study (P.351)  Mandatory Injunction Compels a party to undertake an action  Restrictive Injunction Restraining a party from undertaking an action.  Perpetual Injunction Permanent Orders  Interim Injunction Provides a temporary remedy until the case has been finalised. 3

 Relates to breach of contract  Compels the defendant to carry out the requirements of the contract  Not compensated in terms of financial remedy 4

 Relate to breach of contract  Generally only made when the parties can be returned to their original position prior to the contract  Order can terminate and/or cancel the contract 5

 Made in cases where the defendant is in possession of property belonging to the plaintiff.  Order required the defendant to return the property to the plaintiff.  i.e., TV borrowed but not returned. 6

 Rinehart ordered to pay children's costs NSW Supreme Court has ordered billionaire Gina Rinehart to pay the legal bills of three of her children and the media in her failed attempt to stop details of a feud over a trust being made public. orders-rinehart-to-pay-further-case-costs/

The plaintiff must weigh up the risk of losing the case and having to pay  his or her own legal costs (as well as)  the opposing party's legal costs. If the defendant loses the case, the defendant will pay both parties' legal costs. 8

 Legal practitioner costs are the costs associated with a legal practitioner in the case and providing legal advice.  Party–party costs are those legal fees charged as a result of direct communication between both parties to the case.  Legal practitioner–client costs are not paid by the losing party and, in many cases, they form the bulk of expenses at the conclusion of the trial.  It is standard at the end of most civil matters for the winning party to obtain an order that the loser pay its costs — that is, the party– party costs.  This is formulated by using a court scale  Generally speaking it unusual for this amount to cover the winner's actual costs — depending on the lawyer the winner has used, the recovery can be as low as 50 per cent. 9

 "The decision was that a protective costs order would be allowed in this test case, and this is the first decision of that nature in Victoria," Ms Couchman said.  02/melbourne-man-wins-right-to-take-on-police- without-fear-of-incu/ /melbourne-man-wins-right-to-take-on-police- without-fear-of-incu/  nt.ac;jsessionid=8115D5DA3EC45F619CFB1CDAC92 975D4?sy=afr&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=1mo nth&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm= 200&sp=brs&cls=192&clsPage=1&docID=AGE E11MH7DUR9B nt.ac;jsessionid=8115D5DA3EC45F619CFB1CDAC92 975D4?sy=afr&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=1mo nth&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm= 200&sp=brs&cls=192&clsPage=1&docID=AGE E11MH7DUR9B Mr Bare wants an independent review of police, who he alleges bashed and racially abused him four years ago. 10
