How have courts dealt with applications for interlocutory injunctions where there are conflicting evidence?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Waddell and Waddell v. Neill, Neill and Gifts by Neill's Ltd., 1983 CanLII 2258 (SK QB):

In American Cyanamid v. Ethicon, [1975] 1 All E.R. 504, Lord Diplock considered the problem of dealing with applications for interlocutory injunctions where there is conflicting evidence. The evidence on the application was incomplete because it had been untested by cross-examination and as a result, a notion had grown up which imposed an obligation on the court to undertake what is in effect a preliminary trial and which resulted in references to one not being able to succeed unless it had established a strong prima facie case of probability that the plaintiff is entitled to relief or that the right which it seeks to protect does exist.
