\par This is an application by a lessor for an injunction to prevent a lessee removing lessee\rquote s fixtures from demised premises.
\par 
\par The general principles applicable to the grant of interlocutory injunctions are contained in }{\fs24\ul\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 American Cyanamid Co. v. Ethicon Ltd}{

\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 Before an injunction will be granted the Plaintiff must establish that he has a good arguable claim to the right he seeks to protect.}{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13718364  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 It must also be shown that damages would be an insufficient remedy for the breach of that right.}{

\par 
\par Although Mr. Tikaram told me from the bar table that the Defendant is a $100 shell company there is in fact no evidence before me as to its financial strength.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13718364  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 Therefore there does not appear to be any evidence that an award of damages would not be a sufficient remedy to the Plaintiff in this case.
\par 
\par More importantly, I am not persuaded that the Defendant has no right to remove the fixtures in question before committing any breach of the lease.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13718364  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 While notice has been given of an intention to terminate the lease such a notice does not, I am satisfied, constitute a breach.
\par 
\par In these circumstances I do not think that the Plaintiff is entitled to the relief sought.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13718364  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid13906800\charrsid13718364 
The application fails and is dismissed.
