Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a “district judge, sitting in equity, is vested with wide discretion in fashioning a remedy” after a finding of civil contempt
• requiring that plaintiff prove that non-parties to consent order were aware of order’s provisions before enjoining defendants
• holding willfulness not a requirement for an award attorney’s fees but rather an element to be considered when determining their propriety
• explaining that Rule 65 “codifies the long settled principle that personal service of an injunction is not required so long as those whom the plaintiff seeks to hold in contempt had actual notice of the decree”
• “[T]he district judge, sitting in equity, is vested with wide discretion in fashioning a remedy.”
• “The fact that the prohibited act was done inadvertently or in good faith, however, does not preclude a citation for civil contempt, for the sanction is remedial in nature.”
