unlawful injury

unlawful injury
An actionable wrong. Giving to the term the broadest meaning possible under the authorities, it can include no injury that is not of such a character that it would constitute an actionable wrong, -an injury for which an action for the resultant damages could be maintained against the perpetrator; or which, if merely threatened, could be enjoined in equity if the remedy at law were deemed inadequate. People v Schmitz, 7 Cal App 330, 369, 94 P 419.
