Which of the following is not one of the three categories of injunctions?

  1. Preventative

  2. Mandatory

  3. Structural

  4. Permissive

The correct answer is: Permissive

The correct answer is that "permissive" is not one of the three recognized categories of injunctions. Injunctions are generally classified into three main categories which are preventative, mandatory, and structural. Preventative injunctions are designed to prevent a party from taking a specific action that could cause harm to another party. Mandatory injunctions, on the other hand, require a party to take a particular action, often to remedy a situation or to comply with a legal obligation. Structural injunctions are usually directed at making substantial changes to a party’s practices or procedures, particularly in cases where ongoing harm is likely unless such changes are made. Understanding these categories is essential for identifying the appropriate type of injunction needed in a given legal situation. Since “permissive” does not fit into these established categories, it is accurate to state that it does not belong among the recognized types of injunctions.
