Injunction

發佈時間: 2014/11/13

佔領運動持續,有消息指執達吏及代理人最快明天清拆障礙物。政府有法庭禁制令(injunction)作擋箭牌,阻礙清拆人士或需要承擔後果。示威者若想阻止清路行動,實應三思。

Injunction是法律用語,解「禁制令」,亦可以叫injunction order。Injunction後接介詞against便可以點出禁制甚麼。例句:Taxi drivers applied for injunctions against the ongoing Occupy Central protests.(的士司機申請法律禁制持續多時的佔中抗議。)The employer is seeking an injunction against the strike.(那僱主正要求法院下令禁止罷工。)

名詞injunction常見配搭動詞,除了以上兩句例句裏的apply for和seek,還有issue(頒布)、grant(授予)、obtain(獲取)、execute(執行)等等。例句:The judge refused to issue an injunction.(法官拒絕頒布禁制令。)Who are authorized to execute the injunction order?(誰被授權執行禁制令?)
