In re Moehs & Rechnitzer

174 F. 165 | S.D.N.Y. | 1909

HOLT, District Judge.

The liability on the petitioning creditors’ bond is for damages caused by the appointment of the receiver. There is no liability for filing a petition in bankruptcy, except for the usual costs, unless the petitioners acted without probable cause and maliciously, and in that case the remedy is a suit in the nature of a suit for malicious prosecution.

Motion denied.
