Triangle Mint Corp. v. Mulrooney
177 N.E. 420; 257 N.Y. 200; 1931 N.Y. LEXIS 838
(North Eastern Reporter)
Triangle Mint Corp. v. Mulrooney
Opinion of the Court
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.
