William Inglis & Sons Baking Co. v. ITT Continental Baking Co. case brief

William Inglis & Sons Baking Co. v. ITT Continental Baking Co.,

• A baking company asked for a preliminary injunction against rival baking companies on the grounds that they were guilty of below-cost pricing.
• Rule: A court should issue a preliminary injunction so long as the harm that may occur to the plaintiffs is sufficiently serious, and the moving party can show that there is a chance of success on the merits; the moving party is not required to show that he will likely succeed on the merits.
• in presenting a case for a preliminary injunction, the primary focus is on the harm to the plaintiff if the preliminary injunction is not granted, rather than on the strength of the case on the merits.
