Smith v. Davis

- 22 Fla. 405
Syllabus
<p>1. The remedy by injunction is a preventive one only, and when the act which is sought to be prevented is done and accomplished, if a party is aggrieved thereby he must resort to some other remedy for redress.</p> <p>3. This court, on appeal from an interlocutory decree of the Circuit Court, refusing to grant an injunction, the record showing that the act sought to be prevented had been done and accomplished, after the refusal of the injunction and before the appeal, is without power to afford relief to the appellant, and will not inquire whether the court erred in its decree.</p> <p>3. There is no error in a Judge of the Circuit Court refusing leave to a complainant, who had filed an original bill for an injunction which had been denied by the Judge, to file a supplemental bill, when the bill showed that the act which the original bill sought to prevent had been done.</p>
