Taft Hotel Corp. v. Housing & Home Finance Agency
Taft Hotel Corp. v. Housing & Home Finance Agency
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff’s action seeks a determination that Housing and Home Finance Agency and Albert W. Cole, Administrator of said Agency, acted illegally in approving New Haven’s Redevelopment Project, insofar as it includes the erection of a 300 room air conditioned hotel. It seeks also a mandatory injunction restraining said Agency and Administrator from furnishing any financial assistance to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of New Haven in furtherance thereof.
Judge Anderson’s opinion is reported in 162 F.Supp. 538. He held that the statutes do not authorize Housing and Home Finance Agency, as distinct from its Administrator, to sue or be sued. We agree.
Judgment affirmed.
