Most business owners label valuable information as confidential information, trade secrets or Intellectual Property (IP). The loss of these data types can cause your organisation sizeable reputational and financial loss.\u00a0This article will explore the use of injunctions to help protect your sensitive and valuable information and consider the three main steps in obtaining an injunction for your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an Injunction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In brief, an <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/disputes-litigation\/what-is-an-injunction\/\">injunction<\/a> is a court document ordering a party to act in a certain way. The majority of court injunctions order one (or both) of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ordering a party to refrain from performing a particular act, such as disclosing trade secrets to a competitor, known as a freezing order; or<\/li><li>compelling a party to act in a specific way, such as deleting all copies of confidential information in their possession within five days.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are There Different Types of Injunctions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are two main types of court injunctions. The first is a mandatory injunction that orders a party to perform a specific action. The other is a prohibitory injunction, which prohibits the party from doing a specific thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to bring an action seeking an order for action and prohibiting conduct. For example, suppose an employee unlawfully takes a draft manuscript for a much-awaited book home with them. After resigning, they threaten to sell it to a newspaper. Accordingly, the publishing house is likely to seek an injunction which orders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the deletion of the manuscript (and any additional copies); and<\/li><li>a prohibition on contact with any media outlet regarding the manuscript&#8217;s contents before publication.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know the types of injunction available let us consider the three main steps of pursuing one at the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline bg-gray-800

Obtaining Legal Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-contracts\/when-obtain-injunction\/\">Applying for injunctions is a complex and convoluted process<\/a>. Therefore, a business rarely attempts to do so themselves. Instead, most business owners seek legal advice from an expert lawyer. This is advisable due to an injunction application&#8217;s high cost and time-consuming nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lodging an injunction claim against another party can be very expensive, particularly since most courts will order your business to pay the other party\u2019s costs if your claim is unsuccessful. A lawyer can help advise you on taking a commercial approach and weighing whether the financial cost and potential chance of defeat are worth the advantages gained by winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Sending Warning Off Letters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lawyer will likely advise your business to send the other party a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/data-privacy-it\/protect-confidential-information\/\">&#8216;warning off&#8217; letter<\/a>. This seeks to warn the other party against a specific action without the need for formal legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most business owners engage a lawyer to draft this letter. Whilst letters are unique to the individual\u2019s circumstances, most of them will include some of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a summary of the alleged unlawful conduct or breach of contract;<\/li><li>an explanation of why this gives rise to a potential injunction and the type of injunction;<\/li><li>the likely impact of the commercial injunction order on them;\u00a0<\/li><li>the fact that any successful application for an injunction would likely give rise to them paying the legal costs incurred obtaining the court order; and<\/li><li>an explanation of what the party needs to do to avoid an injunction. For example, returning certain documents or signing a document confirming they will not perform a particular action.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Starting Formal Legal Proceedings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the final step is lodging a claim with the relevant court. Again, drafting and lodging a formal injunction application is complex, and most businesses ask their lawyer to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There usually are two hearings within an injunction process:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>an interim injunction hearing; and&nbsp;<\/li><li>the main injunction hearing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The interim injunction hearing is crucial because it usually gives the parties an indication of what will happen at the final hearing. Commonly, judges at an interim hearing comment on the likely success of the injunction at the final hearing. This is because the judge will consider whether to grant a temporary interim injunction based on the chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if a judge feels that the injunction is unlikely to be granted at the final injunction hearing, they are unlikely to grant an interim injunction. In this scenario, a lawyer will likely advise your business to strongly consider a settlement before the final injunction hearing. The opposite may be true if your company successfully obtains an interim injunction. Additionally, with two hearings comes twice the cost. Injunction proceedings are costly and only usually worth entering into if the information is very valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is always helpful to obtain expert legal advice when your company is considering an injunction against another party. Failing to do so could lead to mistakes within the complex court forms and your business having a weak injunction claim and at risk of paying the other party\u2019s sizeable legal costs.\u00a0Sending warning off letters is good practice because they do not bind your organisation into starting court proceedings. Accordingly, you should only lodge a formal injunction application when you have a strong case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help obtaining advice and assistance with injunctions, our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/contract-lawyers-lp\/\">contract lawyers<\/a> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.

Therefore, if a business brings an injunction action and fails, the other party should have its financial losses reimbursed. However, if the injunction is successful, this amounts to a finding of wrongdoing against the defending party. Accordingly, they should provide an adequate remedy to the business harmed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1666056207469\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why do we have interim injunctions and final injunctions?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Because our courts recognise that swift action is sometimes necessary to prevent harm to the applicant&#8217;s business. Using the publishing house example above, that business will require an immediate ban on contact with the media rather than waiting months for a final hearing. Holding a quick interim hearing is the court&#8217;s way of ensuring speedy justice.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"not-prose m-feedback-prompt\">\n    <!-- Thumbs up\/down bar -->\n    <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__main\">\n        <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__title\">Was this article helpful?<\/div>\n        <div>\n            <!--span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button--text\">Thanks!<\/span-->\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button m-feedback-prompt__button--yes\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:yes\" aria-label=\"Agree\">\n                <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-up fa-3x\"><\/i>\n            <\/button>\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button m-feedback-prompt__button--no\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:no\" aria-label=\"Disagree\">\n                <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-down fa-3x\"><\/i>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Feedback form -->\n    <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form\">\n        <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--thanks \">\n            <div>Thanks!<\/div>\n            <p>\n                We appreciate your feedback \u2013 your submission has been successfully received.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <form id=\"contact-form\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--form\" action=\"\" method=\"post\">\n            <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"authenticity_token\" name=\"authenticity_token\" value=\"87813618e8\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177310\" \/>            <input value=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/disputes-litigation\/obtain-injunction-business\/\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"currenturl\"\n                   id=\"currenturl\">\n            <input value=\"Three Steps to Obtaining an Injunction for Your Business in England\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"currenttitle\"\n                   id=\"currenttitle\">\n            <label>\n                <!-- display on thumbs-up -->\n                <span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__feedback m-feedback-prompt__feedback--yes\">\n                    Can you tell us <span class=\"font-semibold\">why<\/span> you found it helpful?\n                <\/span>\n\n                <!-- display on thumbs-down -->\n                <span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__feedback m-feedback-prompt__feedback--no text-lg\">\n                    How can we better improve this article?\n                <\/span>\n                <textarea name=\"feedbackmessage\" id=\"feedbackmessage\" required><\/textarea>\n            <\/label>\n\n            <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--error\" id=\"form-submit-error\"><\/div>\n            <button id=\"submit-contact-form-button\" type=\"submit\" name=\"commit\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--submit\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:submit\">\n                Submit            <\/button>\n        <\/form>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your business will likely store a sizeable amount of sensitive information.

Therefore, if a business brings an injunction action and fails, the other party should have its financial losses reimbursed. However, if the injunction is successful, this amounts to a finding of wrongdoing against the defending party. Accordingly, they should provide an adequate remedy to the business harmed.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/disputes-litigation\/obtain-injunction-business\/#faq-question-1666056207469","name":"Why do we have interim injunctions and final injunctions?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Because our courts recognise that swift action is sometimes necessary to prevent harm to the applicant's business.
