Case Details
Andrew Dawson, et al. v. David Farr, et al., 227 Conn. 780, 632 A.2d 41 (1993) is a case wherein a baseball player and local team sought a temporary junction against The American Legion to prevent The American Legion from enforcing its eligibility rules and authority to declare of forfeiture of the team’s games. After trial, plaintiffs’ request for a temporary injunction was granted. The Supreme Court of the State of Connecticut overruled the lower Court’s denial of the defendants’ Counterclaim and ordered the matter reversed and remanded. Ultimately, the ability of The American Legion to enforce its player eligibility rules was sustained.
