MELVIN & KUMAR

In the matter of *Melvin & Kumar*, the Supreme Court of New South Wales, constituted by Obradovic J, considered a dispute between the applicants, Melvin and Kumar, and the respondent. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it involved an application brought before the court.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of whether the applicants, Melvin and Kumar, had established a sufficient basis to be granted an interlocutory injunction. This required the court to assess the strength of the applicants' case and the potential for irreparable harm should the injunction not be granted.

Obradovic J applied the well-established principles governing the grant of interlocutory injunctions. The court considered the likelihood of the applicants ultimately succeeding in their claim and the balance of convenience between the parties. The judge's reasoning focused on whether the applicants had demonstrated a serious question to be tried and whether the disadvantages to the respondent if the injunction was wrongly refused outweighed the disadvantages to the applicants if it was wrongly granted.
