Definitions from Case Law
From 291 U.S. 431 - Chase Nat Bank v. City of Norwalk Ohio · 1934Most cited · 423 citing opinions
Persons not technically agents or employees may be specifically enjoined from knowingly aiding a defendant in performing a prohibited act if their relation is that of associate or confederate. Since such persons are legally identified with the defendant and privy to his contempt, the provision merely makes explicit as to them that which the law already implies.

Court decisions citing the opinion that defined “confederate or associate” — 420 in all, by decade. Counts are citations to the defining case as a whole, not verified uses of the term. The dip in the most recent years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the latest years.
