Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
No court of this state may issue a restraining order or a temporary or permanent injunction 
in any case involving or growing out of a labor dispute except after hearing the testimony of 
witnesses in open court in support of the allegations of a complaint made under oath and the 
testimony offered in opposition thereto, and the granting to opposing parties of the right to 
cross-examine such witnesses, and except after the court has made and filed with the records 
in the case findings of fact to the effect that:
1. Unlawful acts have been threatened and will be committed, or have been committed 
and will be continued, unless restrained;

2. Substantial irreparable injury to complainant's property will follow;
3. As to each item of relief granted, greater injury will be inflicted upon complainant by 
the denial of relief than will be inflicted upon defendants by the granting of relief; and
4. Complainant has no adequate remedy at law.
No such restraining order or injunction may be issued on account of any threat or unlawful act 
except against a person, association, or organization making the threat or committing the 
unlawful act or authorizing or ratifying the same with actual knowledge thereof. Every restraining 
order or injunction granted in a case involving or growing out of a labor dispute must include 
only a prohibition of such specific act or acts as may be expressly complained of in the 
complaint filed in such case and as shall be expressly included in the findings of fact.
