§ 25184 Injunctions Without Irreparable Harm

Key Takeaways

  • •You don't have to prove that really bad damage will happen to get a court order to stop someone from doing something wrong.
  • •You also don't have to show that money or other fixes won't be enough to solve the problem.
  • •The court can just give the order to stop the bad thing from happening without these extra steps.

Example

A company is dumping toxic waste into a river, and people want the court to make them stop right away.

Normally, you'd have to prove that the river will be ruined forever or that money can't fix it. But with this law, the court can just order the company to stop dumping waste without needing that proof.
