Supreme Court of Alabama

Darlene Slamen, Charles Martin, Wilhelmina Martin, and Harris Partnership, LLP v. Herbert A. Slamen

September 22, 2017254 So. 3d 172

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that Herbert was not entitled to a preliminary injunction barring disbursement of Harris Partnership's profits because his alleged injury was purely monetary and could be remedied by damages. The possibility that the defendants might be unable to satisfy a future judgment did not transform that reparable injury into irreparable harm. The court reversed the injunction and remanded with instructions to dissolve it.
