(b) Attorneys Fees- Section 722(b) of the Revised Statutes of the United States (42 U.S.C. 1988(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following: `However, no fees shall be awarded under this subsection with respect to a claim described in subsection (b) of section nineteen hundred and seventy nine.'.
Can anyone decode this for me? What is injunctive relief? What is subsection (b) and who doesn't get the fees?
From Google: An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a court order that either prohibits or compels ("enjoins" or "restrains") a party from continuing a particular activity. The party that fails to adhere to the injunction faces civil or criminal contempt of court and may have to pay damages or sanctions for failing to follow the court's order.
Basiclly, for example, if ACLU were to win a case involving 'a cross on public property,' the 'injuctive relief' would be, removal of the cross - no award fees what so ever, unless the losing party failed to abide by the court order.
