  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
    (2) A party may, either with the original petition for arbitration, or any time before entry of a final order, file a motion for emergency relief or temporary injunction, which motion or accompanying argument shall demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief requested, that irreparable harm or injury exists or will result, that no adequate remedy at law exists, and that the relief or injunction would not be adverse to the public interest. An evidentiary hearing on a motion for emergency relief shall be scheduled and held as soon as possible after the filing of the motion and supporting petition for arbitration. The hearing will be held upon due notice after the petition for arbitration and motion are served on the opposing party and may be held prior to the filing of the answer.
    (3) No temporary injunction shall be entered unless a bond is given by the movant in an amount the arbitrator upon testimony taken deems sufficient, conditioned for the payment of costs and damages sustained by the adverse party if the adverse party is wrongfully enjoined.
