WHEN A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IS GRANTED THE PLAINTIFF MUST GIVE AN UNDERTAKING (SECOND DEPT).
The Second Department noted that when a court grants a preliminary injunction the plaintiff must give an undertaking:
A party seeking the drastic remedy of a preliminary injunction has the burden of demonstrating, by clear and convincing evidence, (1) a likelihood of ultimate success on the merits, (2) the prospect of irreparable injury if the provisional relief is withheld, and (3) a balancing of the equities in the movant’s favor … . The decision to grant or deny a preliminary injunction lies within the sound discretion of the Supreme Court … . Here, where the plaintiff established a likelihood of success on the merits and the irreparable harm it would suffer should the preliminary injunction not be granted, the equities tip in favor of the plaintiff and the court properly granted that branch of the plaintiff’s motion which sought a preliminary injunction … .
However, upon the granting of a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff “shall give an undertaking in an amount to be fixed by the court, that the plaintiff, if it is finally determined that he or she was not entitled to an injunction, will pay to the defendant all damages and costs which may be sustained by reason of the injunction” (CPLR 6312[b] … ).
