Injunction
Introduction to Injunction
Injunction, generally, an order or decree in the law of equity, requiring a defendant to refrain from committing a specific act, either in process or threatened, injurious to the plaintiff. Injunctions are granted on the usual grounds for equitable actions, namely, that no adequate remedy exists at law, and that the act complained of is causing, or will cause, irreparable damage to the plaintiff. Injunctions are generally preventive, restraining, or prohibitory in nature, but on the same grounds, they may be granted to compel a defendant to undertake an affirmative act, such as to destroy a wall that encroaches on the property of the plaintiff or to restore the course of a stream that has been diverted from the plaintiff’s property. Such affirmative orders or decrees are called mandatory injunctions.” (1)
Injunction, Bishop, Priest, Trial
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Injunction, Bishop, Priest, Trial (1): On application for an injunction to restrain the bishop from passing a sentence against a priest, the only ground on which a court can exercise jurisdiction is that the threatened action of the bishop will affect the civil rights of the priest.185 A bishop can not remove a priest without an accusation, hearing, or trial, and forbid him to exercise any priestly function where such removal would cut off the priest’s income and destroy his means of living in his vocation.186However, in the same case it was held that a complaint stating that the bishop failed and neglected to assign the plaintiff to the exercise of his office of priest in said diocese to the plaintiff’s damage, etc., failed to show that any right of property or civil right was involved and the priest was non-suited, while in the former case an injunction was issued against the bishop.187
