Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. Contrary to defendants' contention, the motion was not one for mandatory injunctive relief, as no affirmative action was required of them. The injunction merely enjoined defendants from interfering with or diverting monies that plaintiff was contractually entitled to receive. Plaintiff established the essential element of irreparable harm with its affidavit that, unless defendants were enjoined from diverting collections to themselves, it likely would default on its obligations to its lenders and go out of business.
