Supreme Court rejects injunction to open tortilla plant

The New Mexico Supreme Court, in two unanimous rulings, affirmed a Bernalillo County district court injunction denial to stop Alejandro de Jaquez from opening a tortilla factory in Albuquerque and upheld a Quay County ruling against C. M. Stanfill in a note collection suit against James B. Fell. The Bernalillo case rested on an oral contract with Solomon de Soto. De Soto owned the plant since 1935 with an alleged agreement de Jaquez would not resume operations, but no damages were shown. The Quay County decision found head administrator A L Hamilton as defendant, with Bell’s note payment to Head, who did not disclose sale to Stanfill, and the court ruled Head was Stanfill’s agent. Justice Brice authored both opinions.
