§ 3.7.2.6.5.4 Injunctions. Granting or denying injunctive relief rests within the trial court’s sound discretion. See Power P.E.O., Inc. v. Emps. Ins. of Wausau, 201 Ariz. 559, 562, ¶ 15, 38 P.3d 1224, 1227 (App. 2002); Ahwatukee Custom Estates Mgmt. Ass’n, Inc. v. Turner, 196 Ariz. 631, 634, ¶ 5, 2 P.3d 1276, 1279 (App. 2000). Accordingly, the appellate court reviews a trial court’s order granting or denying an injunction for a clear abuse of discretion. See Mahar v. Acuna, 230 Ariz. 530, 534, ¶ 14, 287 P.3d 824, 828 (App. 2012) (injunction prohibiting harassment); Cty. of Cochise v. Faria, 221 Ariz. 619, 621, ¶ 14, 221 P.3d 957, 959 (App. 2009); Valley Med. Specialists v. Farber, 194 Ariz. 363, 366, ¶ 9, 982 P.2d 1277, 1280 (1999) (entry of preliminary injunction). An abuse of discretion includes an error of law. See Parker v. City of Tucson, 233 Ariz. 422, 428, ¶ 11, 314 P.3d 100, 106 (App. 2013).
An appellate court also applies an abuse of discretion standard when reviewing a trial court’s denial of injunctive relief. See Dowling v. Stapley, 218 Ariz. 80, 83, ¶ 4, 179 P.3d 960, 963 (App. 2008); Garden Lakes Cmty. Ass’n v. Madigan, 204 Ariz. 238...
