irreparable injury

The necessity to expend for the investigation or to take the risk for noncompliance does not justify the injunction. It is not the sort of irreparable injury against which equity protects.

An injury is "irreparable," within the rule that injunction will issue to prevent only such injuries, not only where the injury, from its nature, cannot be compensated by damages, or the damages cannot be ascertained by any certain measure 4 N. J. Eq. 449, or when the wrongdoer is insolvent and for that reason incapable of responding in damages. 210 111. 464; 218 111. 87; 51 Iowa, 385; 42 Neb. 238. That species of injury, whether great or small, that ought not to be submitted to on the one hand or inflicted on the other; and because it is so large on the one hand or so small on the other, is of such constant and frequent recurrence, that no fair or reasonable redress can be had therefor

As a ground for injunction, it is that which cannot be repaired, retrieved, put back again, atoned for. Indian River Steamboat Co. v. Trans. Co., 28 Fla. 387, 10 South. 480, 29 Am. St. Rep. 258; it does not necessarily mean that the injury is beyond the possibility of compensation in damages, nor that it must be very groat; Newell v. Sass, 142 111. 104, 31 N. E. 176. See Injunction.

This phrase does not mean such an injury as is beyond the possibility of repair, or beyond possible compensation in damages, or neces. sarily great damage, but includes an injury, whether great or small, which ought not to be submitted to, on the one hand, or inflicted, on the other; and which, because it isso large or so small, or is of such constant and fre quent occurrence, cannot receive reasonable redress in a court of law. 76 Ill, 522 Wrongs of a repeated and continuing character, or which occasion damages that are estimated only by conjecture, and not by any accurate standard, are included. 8 VPiltsb. R. 204.
