If issued by the Supreme Court, it may be granted by any member without any period. It shall remain effective until otherwise lifted.
Sandiganbayan may issue PI.
NOTE: With the Courts implementation, pursuant to its rule-making power, of eCourt System, Notice of Raffle, is obviated, or at least
is omitted, owing to system limitation (system automatically raffles a case to a trial court upon filing).
Possible justification: Since raffle no longer involves human intervention, the evil sought to be prevented (rigging) is avoided, though
this remains unanswered unaddressed by the court for its novelty, and for absence of any controversy brought before it.
General Provisions:
Section 3. Grounds for issuance of preliminary injunction. A preliminary injunction may be granted when it is established:
(a) That the applicant is entitled to the relief demanded, and the whole or part of such relief consists in restraining the commission or
continuance of the act or acts complained of, or in requiring the performance of an act or acts either for a limited period or perpetually;
(b) That the commission, continuance or non-performance of the act or acts complained of during the litigation would probably work
injustice to the applicant; or
(c) That a party, court, agency or a person is doing, threatening, or is attempting to do, or is procuring or suffering to be done some act
or acts probably in violation of the rights of the applicant respecting the subject of the action or proceeding, and tending to render the
judgment ineffectual. (3a)
Section 6. Grounds for objection to, or for motion of dissolution of, injunction or restraining order. The application for injunction or
restraining order may be denied, upon a showing of its insufficiency. The injunction or restraining order may also be denied, or, if
granted, may be dissolved, on other grounds upon affidavits of the party or person enjoined, which may be opposed by the applicant
also by affidavits. It may further be denied, or if granted, may be dissolved, if it appears after hearing that although the applicant is
entitled to the injunction or restraining order, the issuance or continuance thereof, as the case may be, would cause irreparable damage
to the party or person enjoined while the applicant can be fully compensated for such damages as he may suffer, and the former files a
bond in an amount fixed by the court conditioned that he will pay all damages which the applicant may suffer by the denial or the
dissolution of the injunction or restraining order. If it appears that the extent of the preliminary injunction or restraining order granted
is too great, it may be modified. (6a)
Section 7. Service of copies of bonds; effect of disapproval of same. The party filing a bond in accordance with the provisions of
this Rule shall forthwith serve a copy of such bond on the other party, who may except to the sufficiency of the bond, or of the surety
or sureties thereon. If the applicant's bond is found to be insufficient in amount, or if the surety or sureties thereon fail to justify, and a
bond sufficient in amount with sufficient sureties approved after justification is not filed forthwith the injunction shall be dissolved. If
the bond of the adverse party is found to be insufficient in amount, or the surety or sureties thereon fail to justify a bond sufficient in
amount with sufficient sureties approved after justification is not filed forthwith, the injunction shall be granted or restored, as the case
may be. (8a)
Section 8. Judgment to include damages against party and sureties. At the trial, the amount of damages to be awarded to either
party, upon the bond of the adverse party, shall be claimed, ascertained, and awarded under the same procedure prescribed in section
20 of Rule 57. (9a)
7
Section 9. When final injunction granted. If after the trial of the action it appears that the applicant is entitled to have the act or acts
complained of permanently enjoined the court shall grant a final injunction perpetually restraining the party or person enjoined from
the commission or continuance of the act or acts of confirming the preliminary mandatory injunction. (10a)
