When is an interlocutory injunction valid?

An interlocutory injunction is valid until the final trial concludes because it serves as a temporary measure designed to maintain the status quo and prevent any harm or prejudice to the parties involved before a final decision is made by the court. This type of injunction is typically put in place during the course of litigation and remains effective only for as long as necessary to protect the interests of the parties until the full case can be heard and decided.

The nature of an interlocutory injunction is to provide immediate relief while the legal issues are still being resolved, and therefore, it does not have an indefinite duration or a predetermined end time unless otherwise specified by the court. It is also important to note that these injunctions are not automatically invalidated upon the agreement of the parties for settlement; they specifically pertain to the ongoing proceedings until the trial reaches its conclusion.
