New York Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtLewis, J.
This is a stockholders derivative action. It was instituted by Louis Blaustein and his son Jacob Blaustein who, at the commencement of the action, were not only substantial minority stockholders of Pan American Petroleum and Transport Company — to which reference will be made as “ Pan Am” — but also were directors and respectively its president and executive vice-president. The subsequent death of Louis Blaustein led to the substitution of his executors as plaintiffs. Other plaintiffs in the action and the interveners, Haas and Barry, are also minority stockholders of Pan Am.
