Holmberg v. City of Kewanee

Plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against the defendant seeking an order requiring the city to restore his water service. The trial court denied the motion and plaintiff appealed. The appellate court reversed and remanded with instructions to enter a TRO, finding that the trial court incorrectly denied the TRO on the basis that plaintiff had an adequate remedy at law because the “adequate remedy” was not as clear, complete, or as practical and efficient as restoring the water service while the parties litigated the underlying merits of the case. (STEIGMANN and CAVANAGH, concurring)
