Neiman v. Templeton, Kenly & Co.
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided February 28, 1938No. Gen. No. 39,826PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice McSurelt
Plaintiff filed his petition as a stockholder seeking a writ of mandamus to compel defendants to permit him to examine the books of Templeton, Kenly & Company, Limited, a corporation; a motion to dismiss was made and denied and the court ordered the writ to issue. Defendants appeal.
The petition purported to be filed under the authority of sec. 45, ch. 32, Ill. Rev. Stat. 1937 [Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 32.045]. Defendants say that on the face of the petition it appears that plaintiff is not in the class of stockholders to which the statute grants the right to examine the books of a corporation.
