Van Orden v. Ledwith

60 N.Y.S. 802 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1899

Woodward, J.:

The granting of an injunction order under the provisions of sections 603 and 604 of the Code of Civil Procedure depends, aside from the conditions precedent therein mentioned, upon the sound discretion of the court. The language of the statute is that an injunction order may be granted.” It is equally within the discretion of the court to continue or to refuse to continue such an order; and, in the absence of facts tending to establish that the court has abused this discretionary power, it would be ordinarily unwise for this court to intei-pose its discretion for that of the trial court, although this court may properly exercise an independent discretion in a proper case. The verified complaint in the action is based almost entirely upon information and belief; there are no specific allegations of fraud, nor is it shown that the defendant is insolvent, or that there is any good reason to suppose that a j'udgment rendered in the action may not- be enforced. Under these circumstances it was proper for the trial court to refuse to interfere with the orderly administration of the estate of defendants’ intestate, and we conclude that the order appealed from should be affirmed.

The order appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.

All concur, except Goodrich, P.. J., absent.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
