Hiram A. Douglass, Respondent v. the Phenix Insurance Company of Brooklyn, N. Y., Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the demurrer, holding that the plaintiff's action in New York is not barred by a pending attachment proceeding in Massachusetts. The court reasoned that a domestic corporation remains domiciled in its state of incorporation and that foreign attachment without personal jurisdiction over the debtor is ineffective.
