Episode Description
This guide sets out answers to frequently asked questions on
obtaining injunctive relief in the British Virgin Islands.
What is an injunction?
An injunction is a court order prohibiting a person from doing
something (a prohibitory injunction) or requiring a person to do
something (a mandatory injunction). Specific injunctions include
search orders, Norwich Pharmacal (third party disclosure) orders
and freezing orders (or Mareva injunctions).
Injunctions can be final (permanent), interlocutory (until the
final hearing or trial) or interim (until further order, which may
be before the final hearing).
Injunction applications are frequently sought in the BVI, with
the BVI courts readily granting them in appropriate
circumstances.
