FORM No. 632. Mandatory injunction against refusal to pay over funds,71 pursuant to a continuing contract. From in any manner preventing or interfering with the closing up by the defendant S., his agents or servants, of the business of 71 An injunction pendente lite in these terms was sustained in Hanover Fire Ins. Co. v. Germania Fire Ins. Co., 33 Hun, 539. In modifying the clause here following, the court at general term say: "Something of this nature was required to allow the settlement of the business of the agency to proceed. That could not be done without the use of some of the funds passing into the hands of the treasurer, and if he the said N. Y. U. A. mentioned in the complaint herein, and from in any manner hindering or interfering with the direction or management of such closing up by the said S., or with the agents, assets, moneys, property or matters pertaining to the liquidation or closing up of the said business, and from appointing or otherwise authorizing any person other than the said S. to act in or about the liquidation, settling or closing up the said business; and that the said J. E. K. be restrained in like manner from preventing or obstructing the closing up of the same; and that the said persistently withheld them, the business itself would necessarily be brought for the time to an end, and that would violate the obligations of the agreement which these companies had entered into for the settlement of the affairs of this agency, and it was as important that this should be prevented, as it was that the defendant Stoddard should be secured in the exercise of his authority to close the affairs of the agency. And some effectual direction was accordingly necessary to prevent the agreement which the parties had entered into for this purpose from being defeated. Whether an injunction is merely restraining in its effect or mandatory, is often a subject which cannot be clearly defined. The dividing line must necessarily, to some extent, be shadowy and intangible. That is shown by the authority of Rogers Locomotive Works r. Erie Railway Company, 20 N. J. 579, where it was held that the court will not ordinarily award a mandatory injunction until the final hearing and disposition of the action. But that the court will do by means of this process what is necessary to prevent a defendant from defeating and fustrating the rights of other parties is maintained by the authorities referred to in this decision and by those referred to in Hilliard on Injunctions (3d ed., 7 11). "This subject and the authorities relating to it were elaborately consid ered in the opinion of Sharswood, J., appended as a note to page 7 of that work, and both from the text of the work itself and cases referred to in this opinion, it is evident that the court may extend its restraints by means of an injunction so far as that may be necessary to meet the emergencies of the particular case and prevent injustice. Possibly in this instance the injunction has gone further than the authorities will maintain it. But there certainly will be no impropriety in prohibiting the de fendant Kahl, as the treasurer of this agency, from withholding the funds in his hands or under his control, in that capacity, from the payment of any proper demand arising in the course of the settlement of the business of this agency. While that would not be precisely in the form in which the injunction has been issued, and therefore not obnoxious to any of these authorities, it would still be as effectual for all the purposes of this business. Although the objection that this injunction has been extended too far may be well made, it may be modified in this manner without reducing its efficiency. For if the defendant Kahl should, while under such a restraint, withhold the funds from the uses which the business requires should be made of them, he would be as much liable to punishment as he probably would be under the broad language of the present injunction, to which exception may probably be taken. The facts of this case require no further modification. For this restraint imposed by the injunction will not be obnoxious to any of the cases which have been referred to, nor to that of Akrill r. Selden, 1 Barb. 316, but will be sustained by the legal principles required to be observed in the issuing of injunctions." companies be severally enjoined and restrained during the pendency of this action from refusing, neglecting, or omitting to pay from time to time simultaneously and concurrently with each other, unless the said companies otherwise agree, their respective proportions of any adjusted loss, or any debt, charge, expense or liability, payable by them respectively, under the agreement dated 19 set forth in the complaint, and for which payment a demand shall be made by the said A. S., in manner authorized by the said agreement, or in any manner customary or usual heretofore in transacting the business of said agency. FORM No. 633.
