Frida Shaffer · Answer 2

B) issue an injunction ordering the state that lost the case to stop polluting the river

Explanation:

In the case shown in the above question, the federal court, after hearing all the details of the case, would hold the polluting industries responsible for polluting the river in the neighboring state. With that, the court would issue an injunction ordering the state that lost the case to stop polluting the river.

An injunction, in its meaning, is a provisional court order, which is intended to secure the rights claimed by the party before there is actually a conclusion as to the merits of the case.

The concept of limitation refers to a specific form of claim in a court case, provided that the legal requirements for such a claim are met.

The injunction may be requested seeking to safeguard certain well, in this case the river; for the purpose that does not deteriorate or for the person not to dispose of it.
