A classic 1887 reference: Civil Procedure Reports, Volume 12, with notes by Henry H. Browne.
This edition compiles important New York court decisions and commentary on the Code of Civil Procedure. It covers topics from nuisance actions and jury trial rules to amendments, receivers, and the mechanics of supplementary proceedings. The material helps readers understand how legal and equitable relief were treated in early NY practice and how the courts balanced different remedies.
- How nuisance cases are tried when legal and equitable relief are both requested, and when a jury trial may be waived.
- Rules about joinder, usury, and fraudulent conveyances in mortgage and deed disputes.
- The interplay between offers of judgment, pleadings, and amendments.
- The role of receivers and references in complex actions and probate-related proceedings.
Ideal for readers of legal history, researchers, and practitioners curious about the evolution of New York civil procedure and early appellate reasoning.
