Decrees are enforced by proceedings for contempt of court.
One of the most familiar of the decrees given by courts of equity is the decree of divorce, adjudicating the dissolution of a marriage and awarding alimony.

 SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Consent Decree

 Brazil's Giant Step Backward on Indigenous Rights
Decree 1775 in effect creates precisely the catastrophe against which it ostensibly serves to protect, retroactively invalidating all reservations established under Decree 22 as unconstitutional, thus removing their legal protection and rendering them potentially vulnerable to revocation, partition and legalized invasion at the hands of the anti-indigenous interests that have clamorously supported the new decree.
Minister of Justice Nelson Jobim's motives as author of the new decree and his arguments for it as necessary to protect indigenous reserves from the threat of being declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court are suspect on a number of grounds.
The government's ostensible rationale for the Decree is that it was necessary to avert the threat that the Supreme Court might find indigenous reserves unconstitutional because their demarcation had been carried out without allowing all nonindigenous parties with any interests in the indigenous areas to contest the boundaries and enter counter claims to the land.

 U.S. District Court Opposition to Enter Partial Consent Decree (March 23, 2001) -- Natural Resources Defense Council, ...
The Consent Decree suffers from two jurisdictional flaws: (1) it addresses matters that are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. courts of appeals; and (2) it purports to “settle” matters that are outside of the scope of the complaint that NRDC filed in this case.
First, as a threshold matter, this Court lacks jurisdiction to enter the Consent Decree insofar as it purports to govern matters that are (1) within the exclusive jurisdiction of the court of appeals and (2) wholly outside NRDC’s complaint.
Paragraphs 7, 8 and 10 of the Consent Decree are impermissible because this Court has no jurisdiction over the statutory provision on which they are based.
