Like other equitable remedies, it has traditionally been given when a wrong cannot be effectively remedied by an award of money damages. (The doctrine that reflects this is the requirement that an injunction can be given only when there is "no adequate remedy at law.") Injunctions are intended to make whole again someone whose rights have been violated. Nevertheless, when deciding whether to grant an injunction, courts also take into account the interests of non-parties (that is, the public interest). When deciding whether to give an injunction, and deciding what its scope should be, courts give special attention to questions of fairness and good faith. One manifestation of this is that injunctions are subject to equitable defenses, such as <a href="/wiki/Laches_(equity)" title="Laches (equity)">laches</a> and <a href="/wiki/Unclean_hands" class="mw-redirect" title="Unclean hands">unclean hands</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Little_Bit_of_Laches_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Little_Bit_of_Laches-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Injunctions are given in many different kinds of cases. They can prohibit future violations of the law, such as trespass to real property, infringement of a patent, or the violation of a constitutional right (e.g., the free exercise of religion). Or they can require the defendant to repair past violations of the law. </p><p>An injunction can require someone to do something, like clean up an oil spill or remove a <a href="/wiki/Spite_fence" title="Spite fence">spite fence</a>. Or it can prohibit someone from doing something, like using an illegally obtained trade secret. An injunction that requires conduct is called a "mandatory injunction."

For example, after the <a href="/wiki/United_States_government" class="mw-redirect" title="United States government">United States government</a> successfully used an injunction to outlaw the <a href="/wiki/Pullman_Strike" title="Pullman Strike">Pullman</a> boycott in 1894 in <i><a href="/wiki/In_re_Debs" title="In re Debs">In re Debs</a></i>, employers found that they could obtain <a href="/wiki/United_States_federal_courts" class="mw-redirect" title="United States federal courts">federal court</a> injunctions to ban strikes and organizing activities of all kinds by <a href="/wiki/Trade_union" title="Trade union">unions</a>. These injunctions were often extremely broad; one injunction issued by a federal court in the 1920s effectively barred the <a href="/wiki/United_Mine_Workers_of_America" title="United Mine Workers of America">United Mine Workers of America</a> from talking to workers who had signed <a href="/wiki/Yellow_Dog_contract" class="mw-redirect" title="Yellow Dog contract">yellow dog</a> contracts with their employers. Unable to limit what they called "government by injunction" in the courts, labor and its allies persuaded the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">United States Congress</a> in 1932 to pass the <a href="/wiki/Norris-LaGuardia_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Norris-LaGuardia Act">Norris-LaGuardia Act</a>, which imposed so many procedural and substantive limits on the federal courts' power to issue injunctions that it effectively prohibited federal court from issuing injunctions in cases arising out of labor disputes. A number of states followed suit and enacted "Little Norris-LaGuardia Acts" that imposed similar limitations on state courts' powers. The courts have since recognized a limited exception to the Norris-LaGuardia Act's strict limitations in those cases in which a party seeks injunctive relief to enforce the <a href="/wiki/Grievance_(labour)" title="Grievance (labour)">grievance</a> <a href="/wiki/Arbitration" title="Arbitration">arbitration</a> provisions of a <a href="/wiki/Collective_bargaining" title="Collective bargaining">collective bargaining</a> <a href="/wiki/Contract" title="Contract">agreement</a>. </p><p>Second, injunctions were crucial to the second half of the twentieth century in the desegregation of American schools. Federal courts gave injunctions that carried out the command of <i><a href="/wiki/Brown_v_Board_of_Education" class="mw-redirect" title="Brown v Board of Education">Brown v Board of Education</a></i> to integrate public schools in the United States, and at times courts took over the management of public schools in order to ensure compliance. (An injunction that puts a court in the position of taking over and administering an institution—such as a school, a prison, or a hospital—is often called a "<a href="/wiki/Structural_injunction" class="mw-redirect" title="Structural injunction">structural injunction</a>".) </p><p>Injunctions remain widely used to require government officials to comply with the Constitution, and they are also frequently used in private law disputes about intellectual property, real property, and contracts.
