A civil court remedy in which the court orders one party to perform certain acts or refrain from certain actions is called

• A. Injunctive Relief
• B. Specific Performance
• C. Monetary Damages
• D. Restorative Justice

Answer: (A)

Injunctive relief is a civil court remedy that orders a party to do something or to stop doing something. This directly matches the idea of a court directing actions or prohibiting conduct to prevent harm or protect rights, often to preserve the status quo while a dispute is resolved. Monetary damages, by contrast, compensate for harm after it happens rather than preventing it. Specific performance does compel contract fulfillment, but it’s specifically about carrying out contractual duties, whereas an injunction covers a broader range of actions and inactions. Restorative justice isn’t a typical court remedy in civil cases.
