Mel lived next to a glue factory. The factory began using a new formula to make its glue, and the new process resulted in a foul smell that was so bad that Mel could not use his backyard. Mel filed a nuisance action, and the court entered an injunction ordering the factory to stop using the new process (or develop a non-smelly process). If the factory refused to comply, the court can find the factory ____________________ because the injunction was a form of equitable relief.
  1. Out of compliance.
  2. In violation of a judgment.
  3. In contempt of court.
  4. Liable for damages.
Explanation
Answer: C - In contempt of court. An injunction is a form of equitable relief, and courts are authorized to find a party in contempt of court (and impose sanctions) if the party fails to comply with the injunction.
