In Brazil, judicial injunctions are governed by the Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Processo Civil) and are commonly used to prevent irreparable harm pending final judgment. The concept is central to Brazilian administrative law and civil rights litigation. In the United States, injunctions are a cornerstone of equitable relief and are frequently employed in intellectual property disputes, labor law, and civil rights cases. The term 'medida cautelar' in Portuguese legal systems encompasses a broader range of preliminary protective measures than the English 'injunction.'
