Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-5-144

  • circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.

No preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order shall be issued before hearing in any action commenced by a citizen or citizens under the provisions of this division unless such citizen or citizens have made bond in such sum as may be fixed by the judge to whom the application for such injunction or restraining order is made, such bond to be approved by the register or clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the proceeding is filed and to be payable and conditioned as provided by the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure.
