Portuguese term or phrase: ação de interdito proibitório
Lá deram meu nome, me caluniaram até, onde disseram que eu pretendia invadir a fazenda da família XXXXXX, pedindo uma *ação de interdito proibitório*. E utilizando-se dessa ação, eles colocaram nos jornais, que eu sentaria no banco dos réus.

(seeking a) prohibitory injunction
Explanation:
interdict is Scots law.

A mandatory injunction is ordering s.o. to do sthg.

A restraining order is normally used in harassment cases in Eng. & Wales and domestic violence cases in the US. I can't see that either is the case here.

preventative injunction


Explanation:
I think you could say this, without the need for the word 'action'.

Or depending on the severity of the 'injunction', a 'mandatory injunction' perhaps.

All the best,

prohibitory interdict


Explanation:
It's the order given by a court to prevent that something be done. Look at these examples:

action/suit to seek a restraining order


Explanation:
Check the Wikipedia's definition:

"Injunction
An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a court order that either prohibits or compels ("restrains" or "enjoins") 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. In some cases breaches of injunctions are considered as serious criminal offences that merit arrest and possible prison sentences. A restraining order is a type of injunction."

The person here describes how he or she was (slanderously as it seems) charged with suing somebody else in the hopes of obtaining a restraining order. Such action would have allegedly been brought in illegitimacy.

The action is what someone "brings" before a court. The order is the court's (positive) response to a plaintiff's plea for injunction.
