1. “‘ ‘ Therefore, this application being predicated ostensibly upon the nature of the action alleged in the complaint is technically defective. However, a complaint setting forth the marital status and demanding judgment for separation or some other relief, possibly within the ruling of DeRaay v. DeRaay, supra, may warrant equitable relief if it is established that under Section 878, subdivision 1, Civil Practice Act, that the essential marital status alleged in the amended complaint is in imminent danger of being affected by virtue of the defendant’s acts and that his conduct would affect the plaintiff’s rights respecting the subject of the action to an extent that would render the judgment sought in New York State ineffectual. Under such circumstances equity could grant relief specifically provided for by law and would not be summarily and primarily enjoining a person from changing his domicile.” The motion for a temporary injunction was denied (p. 253) “without prejudice to the plaintiff’s right to serve an amended complaint within twenty days after service of a copy of this order, with notice of entry.””
