Nature Of The Case

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Facts

American (P) contracted for advertising on the back cover of Playgirl (D) magazine. The contract gave P the right to buy this space for as long as it desired. D canceled the contract, and P sued for injunctive relief; the magazine was unique and irreparable harm could be avoided only with specific performance. The trial court denied P the relief it sought. The court observed that D is not unique. The court placed great emphasis on the failure of P to establish that its injury was not compensable by an award of monetary damages. P appealed.
