In injunction law, what kind of injury does a quia timet injunction aim to prevent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
A quia timet injunction addresses an apprehended wrong before it occurs. In Kuldip Singh v. Subhash Chander Jain, the Supreme Court explained that the prospect of serious harm must be more than speculative.
The defining feature tested here is the threatened future injury. Whether the harm can be valued in money does not by itself define the remedy.
Option feedback
Option A
The remedy is preventive and addresses a sufficiently real future threat.
Option B
A completed wrong with no future threat lacks the preventive element.
Option C
Difficulty valuing damage may matter to relief, but does not itself establish a threatened future injury.
Option D
The possibility of valuing damage does not establish the future threat that defines the remedy.
Option E
A sufficiently probable future injury describes the remedy’s preventive purpose.
