New York Court of Appeals
Byron Pond, Respondent v. Caroline L. Harwood, Impleaded
October 3, 1893139 N.Y. 111
Summary
The Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's judgment and ordered a new trial, holding that an attorney who purchased a judgment against his former client cannot maintain an action to enforce it, that a perpetual injunction restraining another suit is not permissible without showing that full justice cannot be achieved in the earlier action, that equitable set‑off is unavailable to a purchaser of a debt after suit without mutual debts or agreement, and that the plaintiff's accounting action was not maintainable because no assets were discovered.
