Russell v. Florida Ranch Lands, Inc.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Jun 9, 1982
414 So. 2d 1178 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. 82-12.

June 9, 1982.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Orange County, Maurice M. Paul, J.

Gordon H. Harris and Herbert M. Hill, of Gray, Harris Robinson, P.A., Orlando, for appellants.

Edmund T. Woolfolk and Cameron H. Linton, of Woolfolk, Estes Palmour, P.A., Orlando, for appellee.


Robert Russell and Russell Florida Lands, Inc., appeal the lower court's non-final order granting appellee's motion for a temporary injunction. The essential elements which must be proved before a preliminary injunction can be issued are a legal right in the subject matter of the suit, likelihood of irreparable harm because of the unavailability of an adequate remedy at law and a substantial likelihood of success on the merits. Oxford International Bank and Trust, Ltd. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner Smith, Inc., 374 So.2d 54 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979). Since none of these elements were established by the testimony or record in this case, there was no foundation upon which to ground a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, it is

REVERSED.

COBB and COWART, JJ., concur.
