1978The argument of the Mississippi State Medical Association is that the statute was construed in an analogous case to obviate the need for showing irreparable harm, thus overruling the Redmond decision, Conway v. State Board of Health, 252 Miss. 315 , 173 So.2d 412 (1965), and that in the Darby case, supra, we allowed a local bar association to bring suit without requiring a showing of irreparable harm or lack of legal remedy.
