There is a serious question to be tried and the balance of convenience favors interim relief: the franchisor has a strongly arguable proprietary interest in its System and goodwill and the respondents intend to compete in breach of the restraints; accordingly interim injunctive relief was granted restraining the first, second and third respondents from breaching the franchise restraints, preservation orders were continued, inspection/forensic copy orders were refused, and no separate injunction against the fourth respondent was ordered as unnecessary.
