According to Bates, the injunction to restrain proceedings at law was not available where the "defendant in the action at law and plaintiff in the suit in equity has a perfect and complete legal defense, unless there are special circumstances which constitute a ground of equity and show that he cannot make his legal defense available at law.
The statute provides: Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any fights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress.
