Laker Airways Limited v. Sabena, Belgian World Airlines (United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit)- to show that the equitable circumstances surrounding each request for an injunction must be carefully examined and injunctions are most often necessary to protect the jurisdiction of the enjoining court, or to prevent the litigant's evasion of the important public policies of the forum or to prevent an irreparable miscarriage of justice. These situations may arise either before or after a judgment has been rendered. Anti-suit injunction must readily be granted after a judgment is rendered by the court. However, before a judgment has been granted, the test for granting anti-suit injunction will be more rigorous. A court may freely protect the integrity of its judgments by preventing their evasion through vexatious or oppressive relitigation.
