REINHOLD CONSTRUCTION v. VERO BEACH

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
May 5, 1983
429 So. 2d 699 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

No. 82-2110.

January 26, 1983. Rehearing Denied May 5, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Indian River County, G. Kendall Sharp, J.

John A. Barley of John A. Barley Associates, P.A., Tallahassee, for appellant.

Charles P. Vitunac, City Atty., Vero Beach, for appellee.


Reinhold Construction, Inc. appeals a non-final order denying its amended motion for temporary injunction. We affirm.

Appellant failed to establish that it had a clear legal right to the relief requested, one of the essential requirements before a temporary injunction may be granted. Playpen South, Inc. v. City of Oakland Park, 396 So.2d 830 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981). The trial court found that appellant did not meet the clear legal right test because appellant had no substantial likelihood of success on the merits. The trial court's ruling on a motion for injunction comes to this Court with a presumption of correctness and will be reversed only upon a showing of a clear abuse of discretion or a clearly improper ruling. Duvallon v. Duvallon, 409 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982). Appellant has not met its heavy burden to demonstrate error in the trial court's decision not to grant a temporary injunction.

Accordingly, we affirm the order denying appellant's amended motion for temporary injunction.

AFFIRMED.

LETTS, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
