Stanard v. Brownlow

First page of the opinion Stanard v. Brownlow, in Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, by William Munford. New York: I. Riley, 1816.

Stanard v. Brownlow, 17 Va. (3 Munf.) 229 (1812), was a brief case where the Court examined a bill of review.

Background

The High Court of Chancery dismissed a bill of review, which was then reversed by the Court of Appeals along with the original decree. Brownlow had been awarded an injunction that stayed proceedings against him by Stanard. This injunction was dissolved, and the stay dismissed.

The Court's Decision

The Court of Appeals reversed the bill of review. It cited to the case Branch v. Burnley where a similar order had been made and ordered Brownlow to pay to Stanard any amount he had recovered on the original bill of review, with interest.
