Bar Exam Bar Exam Remedies 2

Question 1

For a court to grant a permanent injunction, a plaintiff must typically show all of the following EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

That the defendant acted with fraudulent intent throughout the dispute

Answer

The four traditional factors for a permanent injunction are success on the merits, irreparable harm, a favorable balance of equities, and no adverse public interest — fraudulent intent is not one of them.

Question 2

Specific performance is available as a remedy for breach of contract primarily when:

Accepted Answer

The subject matter of the contract is unique and money damages are inadequate

Answer

Specific performance compels performance and is available when the subject matter is unique (such as real property or rare goods) so that money cannot adequately substitute.

Question 3

Under FRCP 65, a temporary restraining order (TRO) may be granted ex parte — without notice to the opposing party — when:

Accepted Answer

Immediate and irreparable injury will occur before the opposing party can be heard

Answer

An ex parte TRO is justified only when giving notice would not prevent the immediate and irreparable harm that would occur before a contradictory hearing can be held.

Question 4

The equitable defense of laches bars relief when:

Accepted Answer

The plaintiff unreasonably delayed asserting their claim, causing material prejudice to the defendant

Answer

Laches requires both unreasonable delay by the plaintiff and resulting prejudice to the defendant, making it inequitable to grant the requested relief.

Question 5

A constructive trust is imposed as a remedial device to:

Accepted Answer

Disgorge property wrongfully obtained by the defendant and prevent unjust enrichment

Answer

A constructive trust is an equitable remedy that requires the wrongdoer to hold improperly acquired property for the rightful owner, preventing unjust enrichment.
