Facts
David Findlay (plaintiff) and Wally Findlay (defendant) were brothers who operated art galleries. Wally’s art gallery was in Chicago, and David’s was in New York on Fifty-Seventh Street. Both galleries sold impressionist and postimpressionist French Art. Wally purchased a property on Fifty-Seventh Street in which he planned to open a gallery called Wally Findlay Galleries. David sued in state court, seeking an injunction against the opening of Wally’s gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street. The trial court issued an injunction, and the court of appeals affirmed. Wally appealed.
