When a federal court has denied an injunction against a corporate transaction, can damages be awarded under the complaint in the fraud action?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Crane Co. v. American Standard, Inc., 490 F.2d 332 (2nd Cir. 1973):

Apart from all this, there was no occasion for belaboring the point that damages could be awarded under the complaint in the fraud action. This court had held many years ago that when a district court has denied an injunction against a corporate transaction which was then consummated, an appellate court can direct the district court, on a finding of merit in plaintiff's claims, to order the undoing of the transaction or, if it deems that course preferable, to award damages under a prayer for other and further relief. Subin v. Goldsmith, 224 F.2d 753, 761-762 (2 Cir.), cert. denied, 350 U.S. 883, 76 S.Ct. 136, 100 L.Ed. 779 (1955).11
