The plaintiff sought continuation of an ex parte interim injunction and a permanent injunction to prevent nearby blasting associated with residential construction, alleging vibrations would disrupt the alignment of satellite earth stations used for communications services.
The court applied the standard requiring a very strong probability of grave future harm before granting injunctive relief.
Expert evidence from the defendants indicated an extremely low probability of damage under the blasting plan, while the plaintiff’s evidence was largely speculative and lacked detailed technical analysis.
The court concluded the plaintiff failed to establish a strong probability of harm on the balance of probabilities.
The motion to continue the injunction was therefore dismissed.
