Notice, Preliminary Injunctions, Employment Contracts, and The Indiana Court of Appeals

Ordinarily, preliminary injunctions come before trial on the substantial issues of the case. Not in Roberts v. Community Hospitals of Indiana, Inc. (PDF format).

If the court consolidates the preliminary injunction with trial, there has to be proper notice given to all the parties. Notice gives the parties time to properly prepare for the hearing. The Indiana Court of Appeals held that there was not enough notice given in this case and sent it back to the trial court.

The case gives us an insight in the preliminary injunction process. I find the case worth reading for that reason alone.
