Sanders v. Pacific Gamble Robinson Co.

Murphy, Justice.

The plaintiff, a large stockholder in the defendant corporation, brought an action to compel the corporation to allow the plaintiff to inspect its books and records so that he could ascertain the remuneration and other benefits received by the officers of the corporation. The trial court granted the plaintiff a peremptory writ of mandamus ordering the defendant corporation to make its books and records available for inspection by the plaintiff or his agent at a reasonable time at the de fendant’s place of business in Seattle, Washington. The defendant appeals from the judgment.
