What is the test for obtaining an interim injunction in a personal injury action?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership Architects Designers Planners v. Maki, 2014 BCSC 2439 (CanLII):

The plaintiff must establish a strong prima facie care and that the balance of convenience favours the granting of an injunction, considering such factors as the nature of the action giving rise to the cause of action, enforcement measures available, the amount of the claim, the history of the defendant’s conduct, the relative strength of the parties’ cases, and evidence of irreparable harm, Netolitzky v. Barclay, 2002 BCSC 1098.
