Heading: Elements Necessary To Obtain A Preliminary Injunction

Text: 7 In order to obtain a preliminary injunction, a movant must establish (1) that it has a substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits; (2) that it will suffer irreparable injury if the injunction is denied; (3) that the threatened injury to the movant outweighs the injury that the opposing party will suffer under the injunction; and (4) that the injunction would not be adverse to the public interest. See Country Kids 'N City Slicks, Inc. v. Sheen, 77 F.3d 1280, 1283 (10th Cir. 1996). Because a preliminary injunction is an extraordinary remedy, the right to relief must be clear and unequivocal.
