Description
LOCKWOOD, J. A. Kaufman, plaintiff herein, brought suit against A. Ackerman, as defendant, asking for damages for the malicious prosecution of various actions against him by defendant, and, further, that the latter be enjoined from filing any further actions upon any of the matters litigated in the cases which were alleged to have been maliciously brought. Defendant answered admitting the bringing of the actions referred to in the complaint, but denying that they were brought maliciously or with any intent to injure, harm or annoy the plaintiff. He also set up various and sundry matters at great length, reiterating the claims made in his previous actions. These allegations were stricken by the court as being res adjudicata, and the issue of malicious prosecution was tried to a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for damages in the sum of $500, being the attorneys' fees which the latter alleged he had expended in defending against the malicious actions aforesaid, all other damages being expressly waived by plaintiff in open court, and a judgment for such amount, together with a permanent injunction against defendant bringing further actions of the nature of those found by the jury to be malicious, was entered. From the judgment this appeal is taken.
