EQUITABLE RELIEF

POINT

A decision of considerable importance concerning cases for equitable relief was delivered by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, at the Summary Court this morning in the course of an action brought by Chanan Singh against Bhag Singh and Khartar Singh for $675.

Mr. C.E.R. Sanderson appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. M. W. Lo was for the defendants.
