Since an injunction is a discretionary remedy, the court may limit it to what the court considers reasonable in all the circumstances of the case. For example, where a negative term forbade the defendant to engage in, 'any trade, business, or calling, either relating to goods of any description sold or manufactured by the plaintiff or in any other business whatsoever' the court severed the negative term. An injunction was granted, not to restrain the defendant from engaging in 'any other business whatsoever', but framed so as to give the claimant a reasonable protection and no more: William Robinson & Co Ltd v Heuer (1898) 2 Ch 451.
