2A:15-52. Public policy in matter of injunctions in labor disputes
In the interpretation and application of this article, the public policy of the state of New Jersey is hereby defined and declared as follows:
Procedure that permits a complaining party, to obtain in any case involving or growing out of a labor dispute, as hereinafter defined, sweeping injunctive relief that is not preceded by or conditioned upon notice to and hearing of the responding party or parties, or that issues after hearing based upon written affidavits alone and not wholly or in part upon examination, confrontation and cross-examination of witnesses in open court, is subject to abuse and contrary to the public policy of the state of New Jersey for the reason that:
a. The status quo cannot be maintained, but is necessarily altered by the injunction.
b. Determination of issues of veracity and of probability of fact from affidavits of the opposing parties that are contradictory and, under the circumstances, untrustworthy, rather than from oral examination in open court is subject to grave error.
c. Error in issuing the injunctive relief is usually irreparable to the opposing party, and
d. Delay incident to the normal course of appellate practice frequently makes ultimate correction of error in law or in fact unavailing in the particular case.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice › Section 2A:15-53 - Temporary or permanent injunctions in labor disputes; hearing and findings required; notice; duration of temporary restraining order; bond or undertaking

2A:15-53. Temporary or permanent injunctions in labor disputes; hearing and findings required; notice; duration of temporary restraining order; bond or undertaking
No court of the state of New Jersey nor any judge or judges thereof shall issue a temporary or permanent injunction in any case involving or growing out of a labor dispute, as herein defined, except after hearing the testimony of witnesses in open court (with opportunity for cross-examination) in support of the allegations of a complaint made under oath, and testimony in opposition thereto, if offered, and except after findings of all the following facts by the court or judge or judges thereof:
a. That unlawful acts have been committed and are likely to be continued unless restrained;
b. That substantial and irreparable injury to plaintiff's property will follow unless the relief is granted;
c. That as to each item of relief granted greater injury will be inflicted upon plaintiff by the denial thereof than will be inflicted upon defendants by the granting thereof;
d. That plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law.
Such hearing shall be held after due and personal notice thereof has been given, in such manner as the court shall direct, to all known persons against whom relief is sought; provided, however, that if a plaintiff shall also allege that unless a temporary restraining order shall be issued without notice, a substantial and irreparable injury to plaintiff's property will be unavoidable, then in that case a temporary restraining order may be issued; provided, the plaintiff presents oral testimony under oath sufficient to justify the court in issuing a temporary injunction upon a hearing after notice.
Such temporary restraining order shall be effective for no longer than 5 days, and at the expiration of said 5 days shall become void.
No temporary restraining order or interlocutory injunction or permanent injunction shall be allowed, except upon condition that plaintiff shall first file with the court a bond or undertaking, in favor of the person or persons enjoined or restrained, in an amount to be fixed by the court issuing the restraining order or injunction, sufficient to secure to the person or persons enjoined their court costs, attorney and counsel fees taxed against the plaintiff, in the event that the injunctive relief sought is subsequently denied by the court or in the event that the order or judgment granting such injunctive relief is thereafter reversed by an appellate court.

2A:15-55. Finding of fact as basis for restraining order or injunction; acts to be enjoined; duration of permanent injunction
a. No restraining order or interlocutory or permanent injunction shall be granted in a case involving or growing out of a labor dispute, except on the basis of findings of fact made and filed by the court in the record of the case prior to the issuance of such restraining order or injunction; and every restraining order or injunction granted in a case involving or growing out of a labor dispute shall 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 said findings of fact made and filed by the court as provided herein.
b. No permanent injunction shall remain in full force more than 6 months from the date on which the judgment and order or either is filed; provided, however, that the duration of the injunction might be extended for another 6 months if after a further hearing initiated and conducted in the same manner as the original hearing, the court shall determine that the injunction shall be continued or modified in accordance with the findings of fact on the subsequent hearing.

Whenever any person or persons shall be cited for disobeying, or shall be directed or ordered to show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt of court for disobeying the restraining order, interlocutory injunction, or injunction above-mentioned, then the person or persons so cited or directed or ordered to show cause shall, on application to the court, have the facts concerning such dispute determined by a jury presided over by a judicial officer other than the one who issued such temporary restraining order, interlocutory injunction, or permanent injunction and shall order such jury trial.
The procedure before the court presiding at the hearing on the citation in impaneling and selecting the jury and in admitting evidence shall be the same as that provided for civil cases tried in the superior court. The jurymen so summoned shall be entitled to the same fees for services as are now allowed in other civil trials. In the event that the person cited or directed or ordered to show cause as aforesaid shall not demand a jury trial, then and in that case, such dispute shall be determined and presided over by a judicial officer other than the one who issued such temporary restraining order, interlocutory injunction or permanent injunction.

But if the affidavit or other sufficient justification is not filed, the party demanding the security may within 10 days after receiving the notice of the filing of the bond, give notice to the nonresident party that he excepts to the surety. Upon such exception, the nonresident party shall file the affidavit or other justification or file a new bond with a like affidavit or other justification, or make a deposit as aforesaid, and give the party making the demand notice thereof.
