It would have restrained Vitagraph product from being played by the Snowden Theatre, United Amusement unit, ahead of the Kent Theatre in the Montreal zone until the petition for a permanent injunction could be heard on October 31. Henry N. Chauvin, K.C., for the appellants, appealed Judge Cousineau’s finding on the grounds that the injunction would last four months, though it was supposed to affect a contract ending August 31. He was granted leave to appeal by Chief Judge Severin Letourneau. In granting the appeal Mr. Justice Stuart McDougall and Mr. Justice Errol McDougall found that the injunction would disturb the status quo and that the theatre was not entitled to the order. They held that the contractual relations between the two defendant companies should not be restricted or interfered with pending a‘ full hearing in the Superior Court on the merits of the dispute. H.
