This is an appeal from an order dissolving an injunction. The injunction was granted upon an order to show cause, and after a Ml hearing of the case upon the merits. It was dissolved upon the ground of the insufficiency of the complaint. The order granting it might have
This point was expressly decided in Natoma Water and Mining Co. v. Clarkin (14 Cal. 544). The Court said: “It appears that, upon filing the complaint, an order was issued to the defendants, to show cause why an injunction, as prayed for, should not be issued, and upon return of the order, cause was shown, which being deemed insufficient, the injunction was granted. Subsequently, upon the filing of the answer, a motion for dissolution was made and sustained. In its rulings in this respect the Court below erred. By the statute, the right to a temporary injunction pending the action is considered as adjudicated by the decision at the hearing upon the order to show cause. The remedy of the defendants in such case, when the right to apply for a dissolution upon the filing of the answer is not expressly reserved, is by appeal. The privilege of moving for dissolution upon the filing of the answer, is limited to cases where the injunction is originally granted without notice to the adverse party.”
The order dissolving the injunction is reversed, and the cause remanded.
