Payton v. Ford

68 S.E. 300, 134 Ga. 587, 1910 Ga. LEXIS 277

Opinion

Fish, C. J.

1. The allegations of the petition and the evidence submitted in support of the same authorized the grant of an interlocutory injunction against the plaintiff in error.

2. Upon the hearing of an application for an interlocutory injunction, if the prayer be granted, it operates to grant the injunction until the final hearing. While it is improper to grant a permanent injunction at such a hearing, the error in granting such an injunction will not require a reversal, but only a direction that the order be so modified as to render the injunction granted interlocutory instead of permanent.
