New York Court of Appeals
Fanny S. Bartlett, Respondent v. Daniel Drew, Impleaded
September 5, 187457 N.Y. 587
Summary
The Court affirmed the judgment of the General Term, holding that a judgment creditor may sue a stockholder who received corporate assets after distribution to recover those assets for payment of the corporation's debts. The court emphasized that corporate assets constitute a trust fund for creditors and that the manner in which the stockholder obtained the assets is irrelevant.
