Injunctive Relief

Meaning

Injunctive relief is a specific type of judicial remedy in which a court issues an order compelling a party to either perform a specific act or, more commonly, to cease a particular harmful action. In the domain of hormonal health and wellness programs, this legal tool is often sought in lawsuits, such as those brought by the EEOC, to immediately halt discriminatory or coercive practices. For example, a court may grant injunctive relief to stop an employer from imposing a financial penalty on employees with a pre-existing endocrine condition for failing to meet an arbitrary health metric. The purpose is to prevent ongoing harm to employees’ health status and rights while the underlying legal dispute is resolved.
