““In these days of industrial expansion, parties should have a right to have any issue which involves their financial status speedily adjusted, and this right should not be permitted to rest upon the discretion of the other party, and a legal remedy, to be adequate, must be a remedy which the party himself controls and can assert at the moment. When there is a doubt in the mind of the chancellor as to the adequacy of the remedy, that doubt should he resolved in favor of the petitioners.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Every pilot, engineer, mate, or master of any steam-vessel * * * who neglects or refuses to observe the provisions of this Act * * * shall be liable to a penalty of fifty dollars: - * * Provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any vessel, owner or corporation from any liability incurred by reason of such neglect or refusal.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Benson v. Bulger“"Tito law in issue is clearly penal, and under all of the authorities, must be strictly construed. Liberal construction, as suggested by the defendants, cannot prevail in such a proceeding. Nor can the penalty be invoked and the provisions enforced unless the penalty is plainly imposed by the statute.””
