    §  7-717  Preliminary  injunction.  (a)  Generally.  Pending an action
  pursuant to section 7-716 of this subchapter,  the  court  may  grant  a
  preliminary   injunction  enjoining  a  defendant  from  making  a  bulk
  transfer, as defined in  subdivision  (b)  of  this  section.  An  order
  granting  a  preliminary  injunction  shall direct a trial of the issues
  within three business days after joinder  of  issue  or,  if  issue  has
  already  been  joined,  within  three  business  days after entry of the
  order. Where a preliminary injunction has been granted the  court  shall
  render  a decision with respect to the final determination of the action
  within three  business  days  after  the  conclusion  of  the  trial.  A
  temporary  restraining  order  may  be  granted  pending a hearing for a
  preliminary injunction where it appears by clear and convincing evidence
  that a public nuisance within the scope  of  this  subchapter  is  being
  conducted,  maintained or permitted. The existence of an adequate remedy
  at law shall not prevent the granting of a  temporary  injunction  or  a
  temporary restraining order pursuant to this subchapter.

  major part of the materials, supplies, merchandise or other inventory or
