Most-quoted passages

“"The problem with [defendant's] argument is that it overlooks basic principles governing injunctions. It is true that an injunction can be modified or dissolved when the court finds that the law has changed or that equity no longer justifies a continuance of the injunction. An injunction remains in full force and effect, however, until it has been vacated or modified by the court which granted it or until the order or decree awarding it has been set aside on appeal. Unless it has been overturned or modified by orderly processes of review, an injunction must be obeyed, even if it is erroneous . [Citation.]" (Emphasis added.) Id. at 145 , 244 Ill.Dec. 1 , 724 N.E.2d 889 .”
