New York Court of Appeals
Anna M. Cushman, Respondent v. Thayer Manufacturing Jewelry Company, Appellant
March 18, 187976 N.Y. 365
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment granting the plaintiff equitable relief to compel the corporation to transfer the stock certificate to her. It held that an equitable action lies where damages would be inadequate, that the plaintiff's assignment (even without consideration) conveyed full title, and that the subsequent transfer to the officer was ineffective. The denial of a jury trial was also upheld.
