New York Court of Appeals

Exchange Bakery & Restaurant, Inc., Respondent v. Louis Rifkin

May 31, 1927245 N.Y. 260

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's injunction against the defendants, holding that the picketing and limited trespass were lawful and that no enforceable contract existed prohibiting union membership. The court affirmed the Special Term's judgment and declined to grant equitable relief. Justice Crane dissented, arguing that the majority erred in refusing an injunction to protect the plaintiff's non‑union shop.
