What it does
The Wrongful Injunction Accountability Act would hold parties liable for costs and damages when they wrongfully obtain an injunction against the United States and the required court security is either not ordered or insufficient to cover those losses. It applies to cases where the U.S. government (including its agencies, officers, or employees) is wrongfully enjoined under Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The bill ensures that the movant—the party seeking the injunction—must compensate the government for any unrecovered costs and damages resulting from the wrongful restraint.
