Zimmerman v. Andrews

Superior Court of Rhode Island

Zimmerman v. Andrews

6 R.I. Dec. 171

Superior Court of Rhode Island·Decided June 3, 1930·No. Eq. No. 10118·Published

Opinion

OAPOTOSTO, J.

Heard on demurrer to bill of complaint. The only ground urged is that the complainant has an adequate remedy at- law.

The bill sets out a case which, if proven, entitles the complainant to relief. To deny him protection in equity would result in multiplicity of suits, serious inconvenience, and uncertainty of result.

The remedy at law is not an “adequate”. remedy under the facts set out in complainant’s bill.

Demurrer overruled.
