Beardsley v. . Kilmer , 236 N.Y. 80 ( 1923 )

I concur in the result. Any act which the law says one has a legal right to do does not become wrongful or actionable, no matter what the motive may be. The motive which actuates is immaterial. (Auburn Cato Plank Road Co. v. Douglass, 9 N.Y. 444;Morris v. Tuthill, 72 N.Y. 575; Kiff v. Youmans,86 N.Y. 329; Allen v. Flood, [1898] A.C. 1; Pollock on Torts [11th ed.], 23.)

Judgment affirmed.
