MISC LAND 16720 SCANNED

MISC LAND 16720 SCANNED

A temporary injunction is an equitable remedy that maintains the status quo pending determination of the main suit. Despite prior judgments, failure to raise a preliminary objection in the main case leaves the issue unresolved for purposes of this application. The injunction does not override prior decisions but preserves peace until the main suit is decided.
