Description
By writ dated August 17, 1967, the plaintiffs,
Masti-Kure Products Company and its president
Jules Silver, brought an action against
the defendants, Pharm House, Inc., and its
president Kurt Appel, seeking injunctive relief,
damages and an accounting. On August 24, 1967, a
judge of the New London County Superior Court
issued a show cause order directing the defendants
to appear and show cause why a temporary injunction
should not be granted. On a stipulation of the
parties dated September 12, 1967, the case was referred
to the Honorable Thomas E. Troland, a state referee,
[161 Conn. 110]
acting as the court, for the purpose only of hearing
and determining the application of the plaintiffs
for a temporary injunction. On September 28, 1967,
the referee, after having heard the parties,
issued a temporary injunction restraining the
defendants from selling mastitis ointment or any
other animal health or animal pharmaceutical
product to certain customers of the plaintiff
corporation. Under the terms of the injunction,
the plaintiff corporation deposited a list of its
customers, to whom the defendants were not
permitted to sell, with the clerk of the Superior
Court at Norwich. Provisions were made under which
the defendants by inquiry were able to determine
whether or not a potential customer was on the
list. On April 11, 1968, on application of the
plaintiffs praying that the defendants be adjudged
in contempt for the violation of the temporary
injunction, the court cited the defendants to
appear and show cause why they should not be
adjudged in contempt. On May 29, 1968, the court
referred the case to the same referee for full
disposition. On July 24, 1968, the show cause
order and complaint came on for hearing before the
referee. The parties orally stipulated in open
court that judgment should be rendered for the
plaintiffs on their complaint in a certain manner,
substance and form. The referee adjudged the
defendants to be in contempt as prayed for in the
plaintiffs' motion to adjudge the defendants in
contempt of court. The judgment rendered on July
24, 1968, awarded the plaintiffs damages of $10,000
and ordered the defendants to pay a fine of
$200 to the plaintiffs. The defendants were also
enjoined until July 24, 1969, from, among other
things: "(1) selling mastitis ointment or any
other animal health or animal pharmaceutical
product to any customer of the Plaintiffs . . .;
