Synopsis

Select Cases In Equity: Argued And Determined In The Court Of Common Pleas Of The First Judicial District Of Pennsylvania, From 84 To 850 — Anson Virgil Parsons. This volume provides a doctrinal digest of Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas equity decisions from the mid-19th century. It foregrounds equity practice, pleading standards, and the limits of discovery in aid of litigation, illustrating the rule that discovery demands must be anchored to a present right or anticipated proceeding and cannot rest on mere speculation of future title. The included cases, such as Collom V. Francis and Bank of Virginia V. Adams, test the pleas for precision and the proper scope of cross-border corporate liability, emphasizing comity and the need to pursue remedies within the relevant home forum. Across additional local summaries, the work surveys related topics in equity, including partnership wind-up, trusts, injunctions, and receiverships, with extensive citation to authorities and prior decisions.
