New York Court of Appeals
Caroline M. Robinson, Respondent v. Hubert E. Rogers, Defendants. Leslie C. Ferguson, Appellant
April 1, 1924237 N.Y. 467
Summary
The Court of Appeals reversed the Special Term order that required attorney Leslie C. Ferguson to deliver his papers and release his charging lien upon posting a $50,000 bond, holding that the court lacks authority to extinguish a statutory attorney's lien by substituting other security. The matter was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
