Injunction

Hey, Wanda! Of course, they can! It depends on the matter. Courts might be more hesitant to use injunctions rather than other forms of relief. This is because legal remedies are more appropriate for most disputes, but there are exceptions. If a dispute can be solved through payment for damages it is more likely that the court would choose that option. However, if paying for damages or other forms of relief are considered inadequate, an equitable remedy is awarded and this usually involves an injunction. As an example, think about a dispute between two homeowners over a row of old trees that are situated near the boundary line of their properties. One decides that he wants to cut them down while the other wants to preserve them. In this case, seeking an injunction is more appropriate because, if the trees are cut down the damage is already done, and there is no going back.

Hello, Dominique! As far as I understand, you're trying to redeem a property before the foreclosure sale. What is your strategy? Do you have all the cash to cover the outstanding balance? Haven't you tried to refinance your mortgage? It is not very common to redeem a property before the foreclosure sale, but some states, including New Jersey, have what is known as the right of redemption. In New Jersey, you are given ten days to file a motion objecting to the sale and redeem your property. If you don't want to wait, bring this issue to the attention of your lender, try to find a new attorney or get in touch with a local real estate agent and discuss the best approach.

Yes, Regina. That's what a foreclosure injunction does. The judge can do that permanently or temporarily, but as soon as a foreclosure injunction is declared in favor of the homeowner, the lender/government foreclosure is put on hold.

Well, if an injunction is a judicial order restraining someone from beginning or continuing an action... the answer to your question is: any time between the moment a court order marks the house as foreclosed  (allowing the lender to put the house for auction)  and the moment the house has its title completely transferred to the new owner, because after that's done, if you contest it, it won't exactly be an injunction.
