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.
