11-102.Preliminary injunction.

Section 11-102 is short, and its rule is absolute: no court or judge may grant a preliminary injunction without the adverse party having had previous notice of when and where the application would be heard. Where Section 11-101 lets a court act on one side's affidavits alone for a short, ex parte TRO, a preliminary injunction -- meant to hold through the balance of the case -- requires the other side's chance to be heard before it issues.

The statute does not itemize how much notice or in what form; it requires only that notice of the application's time and place reach the adverse party before the court rules. That flows naturally from the sequence the statute contemplates: a TRO can bridge the gap when there is no time for notice, and the preliminary-injunction hearing that follows is where the adverse party gets its say.

Because this section states a flat prerequisite rather than a procedure, it works together with the rest of Part 1. Section 11-101 explains what happens when an ex parte TRO precedes the preliminary-injunction hearing; Section 11-103 addresses the bond a court may require before entering either a restraining order or a preliminary injunction; and Section 11-108 covers how an injunction, once granted, can later be dissolved.
