Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure 2783

  • 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.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.

The execution of a judgment made executory under the provisions of Article 2782 may be arrested by injunction if the judgment is extinguished, prescribed, or is otherwise legally unenforceable.  No temporary restraining order or a preliminary writ of injunction may be issued, however, unless the applicant therefor furnishes security as provided in Article 3610.
