Cassell v. Hickerson
193 P.2d 743
Cal.1948Check TreatmentThese cases, like Cumings v. Hokr, ante, p. 844 [193 P.2d 742], Davis v. Carter, post, p. 870 [193 P.2d 744], and In re Laws, ante, p. 846 [193 P.2d 744], involve the legality and enforceability of privately imposed restrictions against occupation of certain lots of land by persons other than those of the Caucasian race. Upon the authority of Shelley v. Kraemer and McGhee v. Sipes, May 3, 1948, 334 U.S. 1 [68 S.Ct. 836, 92 L.Ed.-], 16 Law Week 4426 (see also Hurd v. Hodge, May 3, 1948, 334 U.S. 24 [68 S.Ct. 847, 92 L.Ed.-]; 16 Law Week 4432), holding that such restrictions cannot be enforced through court action, the judgment of the trial court enforcing the restrictions is in each case reversed.
