The plaintiff operated a dry cleaning business under a sub-agreement with the defendants.
The defendants terminated the agreement and seized the business, prompting the plaintiff to obtain an ex parte injunction freezing the proceeds of the business sale.
On the motion to continue the injunction, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish irreparable harm, as the claim was essentially for calculable damages and there was no evidence the defendants would dissipate assets.
The balance of convenience favoured the defendants.
The injunction was dissolved and a timetable for the action was set.
