1Opinion of the Court

KONENKAMP, Justice.

[¶ 1.] After the circuit court enjoined an electric cooperative and its subsidiary from offering cable television service in violation of a statute, the Legislature amended the law to remove the prohibition. We therefore set aside the injunction as no longer sustainable under the amended statute, but remand the case for trial on the issue of damages incurred during the time the cooperative violated the former statute by competing in a municipality with an operating cable television service. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
