Abstract
In this Article, Professor Richard Bales and Ryan Allison use a series
of hypothetical examples in order to flesh out the procedures and
limitations ofenjoining nonparties. TheArticle discusses the underlying
policy conflicts that arise upon attempting to bind nonparties by an
injunction decree.
In a picturesque little rural community in Anyburg, America during
the nineteenth century, Farmer Fred liked to look out his window each
morning and admire his luscious orchard of orange trees. The orchard
extendedfor many acres to a nearby highway where a high fence separ-
ated the trees from the rest of the world. A quaint little brook flowed
through his lands and kept his trees well watered. His oranges were the
best in the state and he frequently sold them to high-priced bidders.
Often, Farmer Fred liked to eat afew himself The orchard was his most
prized possession.
One day, Farmer Fred discovered that his neighbor, Evil Ed, liked to
cross the highway and climb the fence to take as many oranges as he
could carry. Evil Ed liked to eat and sell the oranges. Farmer Fred
immediately obtained an injunction against Evil Ed which stated that
EvilEd is notpermittedto enter Farmer Fred's orchard to take oranges,
and if he does, he will be fined $500 for every orange he takes. 
The law in the nineteenth century stated that only those named to an
injunction would be bound by the decree. So Evil Ed had Igor, his
gardener, run over to Farmer Fred's orchard and take afew buckets of
the fruit. Farmer Fred saw this and declared that Evil Ed would be in
trouble with the courts.
