June 3, 1904178 N.Y. 525

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that an equity action to rescind a stock subscription obtained by fraud may be brought against both the corporation and the individual officers who made the fraudulent representations, allowing the court to grant full relief—including rescission, injunction, and monetary judgment—in a single suit to avoid multiplicity of actions.
