UPDATE
CLEBC Update
Injunction applications are always urgent; lawyers prosecuting or defending them must respond quickly and knowledgeably. The second edition of CLEBC’s Injunctions – British Columbia Law and Practice, scheduled for release in October, will reflect significant changes to law and practice since the first edition was published. The book outlines general principles, provides valuable practice information, and covers procedural and substantive law governing the granting and enforcement of interlocutory injunctions – all in a handy 6” by 9” softbound book. It includes forms and precedents, tables of cases, legislation, and references, and a comprehensive index.
