Terms Used In Indiana Code 7.1-2-6-12

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • 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.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
   Sec. 12. Action by Commission. The commission may enforce a provision of this title or a rule or regulation of the commission against a permittee either by way of seeking a writ of mandate mandating the defendant to comply with a rule or regulation of the commission or by an action for an injunction enjoining a permittee from violating a rule or regulation of the commission whether the conduct of the defendant does or does not constitute a public nuisance within the meaning of this title. A temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction may be granted in such an action without a bond being filed by the plaintiff.
