Troyer Furniture Co. v. Orchard & Wilhelm Co.

This, an action at law, was commenced by appellants, as plaintiffs in the district court for Lancaster county, against the defendants (appellees herein) to recover damages suffered by reason of the fact that, as alleged in the petition, “the defendants and each of them, acting wilfully, intentionally, purposely, maliciously,” with a wilful disregard of plaintiffs’ rights and without probable cause, caused to be filed, and filed, an involuntary petition in bankruptcy (in a court of competent jurisdiction), thereby causing plaintiffs to suffer in loss and damage in the amount alleged.
