The principle that upon an application for injunction, the court shall consider and weigh the relative convenience and inconvenience and the comparative injuries to the parties and to the public which would result from the granting or refusal of the injunction sought, the essential concept being that the court is not bound to make a decree which will do more mischief and wreak greater injury than the wrong which it is asked to redress. 28 Am J Rev ed Inj § 52.
