Terms Used In Arizona Laws 12-994
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- Person: includes a corporation, company, partnership, firm, association or society, as well as a natural person. See Arizona Laws 1-215
- 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.
B. A person who intentionally or knowingly violates or disobeys a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction or any other order issued pursuant to section 12-998 or 12-999 is guilty of a class 6 felony.
C. This section does not prevent the court from issuing any other order to enforce a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction or any other order issued pursuant to this article.
