Abstract
The remedy of injunction is perhaps the most important equitable remedy.
Despite the fact that the remedy of injunction was evolved by equity many
centuries ago, the theory and judicial application of the remedy and its
development in the court is still riddled with confusion and deficiency of
theory. Prone to abuse, certain aspects of the remedy are threatened with
abandonment by the courts. Judicial conservatism and lack of pro-activeness
stands in the way of the development of the remedy in areas of
Environmental Law and Mareva Injunction. By exploring case law and
statutory law on the remedy of injunction and by appraising the body of
existing literature on the remedy, this work highlights the relevance and
potentials of injunction and exposes the deficiencies of the remedy by its
findings. The recommendations of this work seek to provide answers to the
findings of the work.
