In Scots law, an interdict is a court order to stop someone from breaching someone else's rights. [1] They can be issued by the Court of Session or a Sheriff Court. The equivalent term in England is an injunction. A temporary interdict is called an interim interdict. [2] A court will grant an interim interdict if there is a prima facie case and on the balance of convenience the remedy should be granted. [3] Breaching an interdict can result in a fine or imprisonment. [4]
