Judge Clark
concurring:
I concur in the result, and I agree that in the ordinary case injunctive relief should not be'granted before the employee has exhausted his administrative remedy. The majority, in “holding that the superior court did not have authority to enter the orders,” is apparently ruling that our courts under no circumstances have jurisdiction or authority to grant injunctive relief to an employee before administrative relief under the *304Personnel Act and Administrative Procedure Act has been exhausted. In my opinion there may be extraordinary circumstances where the administrative remedy is so inadequate and the damage so irreparable that the courts should protect the rights of an employee by the use of its equity jurisdiction in granting an injunction before administrative remedy is exhausted.
