Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 638.1551
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- person: means a natural person, any form of business or social organization and any other nongovernmental legal entity including, but not limited to, a corporation, partnership, association, trust or unincorporated organization. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.039
- 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.
2. The court may issue a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction for such purposes:
(a) Without proof of actual damage sustained by any person, this provision being a preventive as well as punitive measure; and
(b) Pending proceedings for disciplinary action by the Board. Such proceedings must be instituted and determined as promptly as practicable.
