injunctive
Ordering by court
Injunctive describes something relating to or having the nature of an injunction—a court order that compels or prohibits specific action.
In legal contexts, injunctive relief is a remedy where a court orders a party to do or refrain from doing something, as opposed to awarding monetary damages.
Outside law, injunctive appears in social psychology to describe norms that dictate what people ought to do: Injunctive norms tell us what behavior is approved or disapproved by others.
