to prevent the breach of a contract the performance of which would not be specifically enforced;
to prevent, on the ground of nuisance, an act of which it is not reasonably clear that it will be a nuisance;
to prevent a continuing breach in which the plaintiff has acquiesced;
when equally efficacious relief can certainly be obtained by any other usual mode of proceeding except in case of breach of trust;
[(ha) if it would impede or delay the progress or completion of any infrastructure project or interfere with the continued provision of relevant facility related thereto or services being the subject]matter of such project.
