Chap. 670.—An ACT to regulate the granting of injunctions in certain cases.

Approved March 3, 1896.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That every
court or judge authorized to award injunctions may, if in the opin-
ion of the court or judge it be proper so to do, prescribe in the in-
junction order the time during which the injunction shall be effec-
tive, and after the expiration of such time the said injunction, unless
previously enlarged as hereinafter provided, shall stand dissolved.
The party to whom such injunction is awarded may within such
time give notice to the adverse party, or to his attorney at law or in
fact, of the time and place at which he will move the court or judge
to whom the bill is addressed to enlarge such injunction or to grant
a further injunction, and such adverse party may, within such time
and after like notice, move the said court or judge to dissolve such
injunction, and on such motion by either of said parties the said
court or judge may dissolve or enlarge said injunction or grant a fur-
ther injunction. From any such injunction which shall stand dis-
solved, as aforesaid, and from any order dissolving such injunction
and refusing to grant a further injunction, there shall be no appeal;
but if such order of dissolution and refusal be made by a circuit or
corporation court, or a judge thereof, application for an injunction
may be made to a judge of the supreme court of appeals, as provided
in section thirty-four hundred and thirty-eight of the code of Vir-
ginia, who may award an injunction in accordance with that sec-
tion.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
