Plain-English Summary
Section 25-1076 completes the picture set up in section 25-1075 by addressing the plaintiff’s side of a challenge to an injunction granted without notice. If the defendant’s application to vacate or modify is made on affidavits from the defendant — but not otherwise — the plaintiff may oppose it with additional affidavits or other evidence, beyond whatever supported the injunction when it was first granted.
The qualifier “but not otherwise” matters. This particular right to respond with new evidence is tied specifically to the situation where the defendant is introducing new affidavits of the defendant’s own. Where the defendant instead attacks the sufficiency of the original petition and affidavits, without adding new material, this section’s specific counter-showing right does not come into play the same way.
Read together, sections 25-1075 and 25-1076 create a balanced procedure: a defendant who was enjoined without notice can introduce new facts to attack the injunction, and once the defendant does, the plaintiff is not stuck defending only the original showing but can bring in additional evidence to meet it.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the defendant submits new affidavits to vacate an injunction, can I respond with my own evidence?
Yes. Section 25-1076 lets the plaintiff oppose the defendant’s affidavits with additional affidavits or other evidence, beyond what supported the original injunction.
Does this right to respond apply no matter how the defendant’s application is made?
No. It applies specifically when the application is made on affidavits on the part of the defendant, and not otherwise.
What if the defendant challenges the injunction based only on the original petition and affidavits, without new evidence?
Section 25-1076’s specific counter-showing right addresses the situation where the defendant submits new affidavits; a challenge resting only on the original papers is not the situation this section describes.
How does this section relate to section 25-1075?
Section 25-1075 lets a defendant enjoined without notice apply to vacate or modify the injunction using either the original papers or new affidavits. Section 25-1076 gives the plaintiff a chance to counter with additional evidence when the defendant chooses the new-affidavits route.
Can the plaintiff introduce evidence beyond what was used to get the injunction in the first place?
Yes, under the circumstances section 25-1076 describes — where the defendant’s application rests on the defendant’s own affidavits.
