In re Moehs & Rechnitzer
174 F. 165
Opinion
The liability on the petitioning creditors’ bond is for damages caused by the appointment of the receiver. There is no liability for filing a petition in bankruptcy, except for the usual costs, unless the petitioners acted without probable cause and maliciously, and in that case the remedy is a suit in the nature of a suit for malicious prosecution.
Motion denied.
