January 17, 1905180 N.Y. 280

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s modification of the trial court’s factual findings and injunction, held that the contract restricting sales of Kidder presses was not void as an unreasonable restraint of trade and was not assignable without the press maker’s consent, and remanded for a new trial with proper measurement of damages limited to the cost savings attributable to the restricted presses.
