81 Kan. 596 | Kan. | 1910
The bond upon which the appellee recovered judgment was given to stay proceedings here in a case where the judgment of the district court was
There was evidence sufficient to support a finding that the city had exercised its option at the time the restraining order was granted and had notified the appellee that it would issue its bonds instead of paying cash. There is no merit in the contention that the appellee could probably not have sold the bonds on the market until the question of their validity was finally determined. There was testimony that the appellee had sold them, or at least had arranged to sell them at par, and that the market value depreciated during the time the restraining order was in force. Damages for the depreciation in the value of the bonds under these circumstances were not remote or speculative and were properly allowed. (Clay Center v. Williamson, 79 Kan. 485.)
We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
