THE RIGHT SITE COALITION v. LOS ANGELES
Denial of application for preliminary injunction solely on the ground the balance of hardships favored defendant was error where trial court declined to consider the potential merit of plaintiff's claims, believing it was unnecessary to address that factor; proper test is to treat the likelihood of success and the balance of hardships as "interrelated factors," so that the stronger the likelihood of success by plaintiff, the greater the showing of hardship must be in order for the defendant to avoid the injunction.
