Syllabus

<p>1. Municipal Coepobations. Special counsel. Injunction. Damages.</p> <p>A city or county may make a valid contract to employ associate counsel to assist its regularly retained counsel in any case where in the wisdom of the authorities it deems it necessary.</p> <p>2. Injunction. Damages. Special counsel.</p> <p>Where a city employs additional counsel to dissolve an injunction against it, the injunction bond given to obtain such injunction can be made to respond in damages to any reasonable amount necessary to compensate the additional counsel so employed.</p> <p>3. Action at Law upon Injunction Bond. When brought.</p> <p>Until there has been a final determination of the suit in which the injunction bond was executed, no action at law can be maintained thereon, and this is true although the only relief sought by the bill of complaint was an injunction and the court had denied that relief, and dissolved the injunction after full proof, but did not dismiss the bill.</p>
