§ 185.02 — Restraining Order or Injunction, When Not Issued
Plain-Language Summary
Courts in Minnesota generally cannot issue restraining orders or injunctions in disputes between employers and employees unless specific conditions are met. The court must hold a hearing and find that an injunction is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to property. A temporary restraining order without a hearing is only allowed if violence is actually happening or about to happen.
185.02 RESTRAINING ORDER OR INJUNCTION, WHEN NOT ISSUED.
No restraining order or injunction shall be granted by any court of this state, or any judge thereof, in any case between an employer and employee, or between employees, or between persons employed and persons seeking employment, involving or growing out of a dispute concerning terms or conditions of employment except after notice and a hearing in court and shown to be necessary to prevent irreparable injury to property or to a property right of the party making the application, for which injury there is no adequate remedy at law, and such property or property right must be described with particularity in the application, which must be in writing and sworn to by the applicant or by the applicant’s agent or attorney; provided, that a temporary restraining order may be issued without notice and hearing upon a proper showing that violence is actually being caused or is imminently probable on the part of the person or persons sought to be restrained; and, provided, that in such restraining order all parties to the action shall be similarly restrained.
