What is the test for an interlocutory injunction in a defamation case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Asselin v. McDougall, 2013 ONSC 1716 (CanLII):
In a defamation case, the moving party seeking an interlocutory injunction must prove irreparable harm. The onus will not have been met if the harm alleged is speculative, not readily determinable, or can be adequately compensated by an award of damages: Rapp, at para. 12; and Beidas v. Pichler, at paras. 26-27.
