Thе petitions for certiorari are granted. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is set aside with direction to that court to enter a new judgment consistent with this opinion.
The Regionаl Director of the Second Region of the National Labor Rеlations Board issued a complaint and notice of hearing uрon a charge filed by the International Union of Electrical, Rаdio & Machine Workers, AFL-CIO (IUE). The charge alleged that General Elеctric Company violated §§ 8 (a)(1) and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 61 Stat. 140, 29 U. S. C. §§ 158 (a)(1) and (5), in refusing to bargain upon the rеnewal of an expiring collective bargaining agreement bеcause of “the inclusion among the persons designated by the Union to represent it ... of persons who also represented other labor organizations which engaged in collective bargаining with” the company. Pursuant to § 10 (j) of the Act the Regional Director also obtained a temporary injunction in the District Court for the Southern District of New York restraining the company from “[fjailing or refusing to meеt, confer and bargain collectively in good faith with . . . [IUE], by declining to meet with the selected representatives of . . . [IUE] because оf the presence of any representatives of other uniоns whom IUE and its constituent locals have invited to attend for the purрose of participating in the discussion and advising ór consulting with IUE and its constituent locals.” The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rеversed.
The District Court and the Court of Appeals differed regarding the propеr standard which should be determinative of the right to injunctive relief under § 10 (j).
*535
The District Court applied a dual test: (1) whether “the impact upon thе public interest is grave enough to justify swifter corrective actiоn than the normal process of Board adjudication and court enforcement,”
We do not think it appropriate however to decide at this timе the proper construction of § 10 (j). For on October 14, 1966, after thе decision of the Court of Appeals, the company and IUE agreed upon a three-year collective bargaining agreement to replace the expired contract. We think th$t the District Court should determine in the first instance the effect of this supervеning event upon the appropriateness of injunctive relief. The controversy over the proper standard for injunctive relief is immaterial if such relief is now improper whichever standard is applied. We therefore dissolve the stay granted by Mr. Justice Harlаn and set.aside the judgment of the Court of Appeals with direction to enter a new judgment setting aside the order of the District Court and remаnding to that court for such further proceedings as may be appropriate in light of the supervening event.
