1) Basic concepts: What is John Doe order?
A John Doe order is a type of legal injunction that allows a plaintiff to take action against unknown or unidentified defendants. The term "John Doe" serves as a placeholder name for anonymous parties whose identities are not known at the time of filing the lawsuit.
An Anton Piller injunction is an extraordinary form of court-ordered injunctive relief that compels a defendant to permit a plaintiff to enter their property to search for and seize evidence and records, including electronic data and equipment. Also known as a "search order" in some jurisdictions, this remedy serves as a form of ex parte interlocutory injunction that grants the plaintiff certain rights of access to documents or articles in the defendant's possession.
