irreparable injury

irreparable injury
As the term applies in the law of injunctions:–an injury of such a character that a fair and reasonable redress may not be had in a court of law, so that to refuse the injunction would be a denial of justice-in other words, where, from the nature of the act, or from the circumstances surrounding the person injured, or from the financial condition of the person comrriitting it, the injury cannot be readily, adequately, and completely compensated for with money. Miller v Lawlor, 245 Iowa 1144, 66 NW2d 267, 48 ALR2d 1058. To be irreparable, the injury need not be beyond the possibility of repair or beyond possible compensation in damages, nor need it be very great. The term "irreparable damage" does not have reference to the amount of damage caused, but rather to the difficulty of means measuring the amount of damages inflicted. 28 Am J Rev ed Inj § 48.
