Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Fletcher, Presiding Justice.
The Housing Authority of Washington, Georgia contracted with MMT Enterprises, Inc. to renovate 96 housing units. After the authority terminated the contract, MMT sued for monies owed and the authority filed a counterclaim for breach of contract. The trial court ordered the authority to deposit in escrow the funds that it retains under the contract pending the project’s completion. The authority appeals that order. Because the trial court abused its discretion in ordering an injunction when the contractor had an adequate remedy at law, we reverse.
