| Court | Florida District Court of Appeals |

Lapidus & Stettin, Miami, for appellee.
Before HENDRY, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.
A civil complaint which alleges that defendant corporation, through its officers, has defrauded plaintiff corporation and is about to remove its assets beyond the jurisdiction of the court does not warrant a temporary injunction. B.L.E. Realty Corporation v. Mary Williams Co., 101 Fla. 254, 134 So. 47 (1931). An action for damages does not become an equitable action simply by requesting an injunction. Ramsey v. Lovett, 89 So.2d 669 (Fla.1956). Irreparable harm for the purpose of an injunction is not established where the harm can be compensated for adequately by money damages. Sampson v. Murray, 415 U.S. 61, 94 S.Ct. 937, 39 L.Ed.2d 166 (1974); Goldberger v. Regency Highland Condominium Association, Inc., 383 So.2d 1173 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980); Oxford International Bank and Trust, Ltd. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 374 So.2d 54 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); Liberty Equities Corp. v. Joe's Creek Industrial Park, 214 So.2d 888 (Fla. 2d DCA 1968).
The orders granting a motion for preliminary injunction and granting motion amending preliminary injunction are both REVERSED.
