Loofborow v. Shaffer

Supreme Court of Kansas

Decided January 15, 1883

Supreme Court of Kansas · decided 1883-01-15

Action brought by Loofborow and another against Shaffer and another, on an injunction bond,- to recover $150, the fee paid their attorney for procuring a dissolution of the injunction, and $50 as other expenses in said action. At the February Term, 1881, of the Wilson district court, a general demurrer to the ’petition was sustained. The plaintiffs brought the case here.

Decided 1883-01-15

Per Curiam:

¶1This case was presented for our consideration, on the argument of plaintiffs in error, at the January term, 1882, of the court. It was then reversed, and remanded. (28 Kas. 71.) Afterward) for sufficient reasons, with consent of the parties, the judgment of reversal was set aside, and the case is before us again for examination and consideration.,

¶2Stripped of all extraneous matters, the only question is, whether in a case where injunction is the sole relief sought by the action, ánd it is finally decided that the injunction should not have been granted, attorney’s fees are recoverable upon the undertaking to pay all damages sustained by reason of the injunction granted provisionally. Underhill v. Spencer, 25 Kas. 71, is decisive of this question, and after a careful examination of the argument of counsel for defendants in error and the cases cited by him, we do not feel warranted in reversing the ruling heretofore adopted, believing as we do, that the great weight of authorities supports the law as declared.

¶3The judgment of the district court will be reversed.
