New York Court of Appeals
Loch Sheldrake Associates, Inc., Appellant v. Gussie Evans, Respondent
February 25, 1954306 N.Y. 297
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment restraining the defendant from drawing water from Loch Sheldrake except for mill purposes, despite concluding that the 1919 reservation gave the defendant a broad profit interest. The dissent argued that the reservation should be read in favor of the plaintiff and not grant exclusive rights to the defendant.
