2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In order to obtain a temporary or preliminary injunction, a movant must establish irreparable injury and the likelihood of success on the merits. Likelihood of success on the merits does not mean a showing which will in all events warrant relief in the final hearing. Rather, it means the movant must convince the trial court that he is probably entitled to the relief prayed for if the proof should sustain his allegations. [Citations.] In addition, the trial court must also conclude that the granting of the temporary relief outweighs any possible injury which defendant might suffer by its issuance. [Citation.] The issuance or denial of a preliminary injunction is addressed to the trial court’s sound discretion. Its findings will not be disturbed unless they are against the manifest weight of the evidence. [Citation.]” (Booth v. Greber (1977), 48 Ill. App. 3d 213, 217 , 363 N.E.2d 6 , appeal denied (1977), 66 Ill. 2d 628 .)”
