Legal Opinion

Triangle Mint Corp. v. Mulrooney

New York Court of Appeals

Decided July 15, 1931PublishedCited by 14 opinions

1Per curiam

An equity court should exercise its jurisdiction to restrain the police from enforcing a criminal statute, the enforcement of which threatens property damage, only in cases where a clear legal right to that relief is established. The record in this case does not establish such a clear legal right. For that reason the judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

Cardozo, Ch. J., Pound, Crane, Lehman, Kellogg, O’Brien and Hubbs, JJ., concur.

Judgment affirmed.
