Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-5-160.2
- 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 security bond shall be required to issue a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order sought by the Attorney General, district attorney, or an attorney appearing for the county or municipality. At the discretion of the court, a security bond may be required to issue a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order. Where relief is issued after an evidentiary hearing at which witnesses are subject to cross examination, the court may not require a security bond in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000).
