Good Humor Corporation, Respondents v. City of New York, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision that the City of New York's Local Law prohibiting itinerant peddling on city streets is unconstitutional because it exceeds the city's police power, lacks a reasonable relation to public health or safety, and discriminates between harmless and harmful peddlers. The Court held that the law is an unreasonable, discriminatory restriction on a lawful business, and therefore invalid.
