Explained in plain English

What is an injunction?

An injunction is a court order telling someone to do or not do something. In this case, Evri might have sought an injunction to force the BBC to remove the Panorama programme, but the BBC chose to add a note instead, likely to avoid a full court order while the libel claim is ongoing.
