                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVIEW OF INJUNCTION; PETITIONS FOR REVIEW (§ 8.01-626)

When a circuit court (i) grants a preliminary injunction, (ii) refuses such an
injunction, (iii) having granted such an injunction, dissolves or refuses to
enlarge it, or (iv) enters an order reviewable pursuant to § 8.01-670.2, an
aggrieved party may file a petition for review with the clerk of the Supreme
Court within 15 days of the circuit court&#8217;s order.
		The clerk shall assign the petition to a three-justice panel of the Supreme
Court. The aggrieved party shall serve a copy of the petition for review on the
counsel for the opposing party, which may file a response within 15 days from
the date of service unless otherwise determined by the court. The petition for
review shall be accompanied by a copy of the proceedings before the circuit
court, including the original papers and the circuit court&#8217;s order
respecting the injunction. The Supreme Court may take such action thereon as it
considers appropriate under the circumstances of the case.
		Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the Supreme Court from
resolving a petition for review by an order joined by more than three justices.
