WILLIAM H. GOODING, Judge of Superior Court
(specially concurring).
While I concur with the result, I disagree with the reasoning of my fellow judges.
I agree with the federal cases which hold that the posting of security may be dispensed with in the absence of likelihood of harm and that the discretion of the court as to the size of the bond includes the discretion not to require any bond. Continental Oil Company v. Frontier Refining Company, (C.A. 10th Ct.) 338 F.2d 780 (1964); Ferguson v. Tabah, (C.A. 2nd Ct.) 288 F.2d 665 (1961); Urbain v. Knapp Brothers Manufacturing Company, (C.A. 6th Ct.) 217 F.2d 810 (1954), certiorari denied 349 U.S. 930, 75 S.Ct. 772, 99 L.Ed. 1260.
I would remand this cause with instructions to fix a bond or to make a finding that no bond is required.
Note: Judge FRANCIS J. DONO FRIO having requested that he be relieved from the consideration of this matter, Superior Court Judge WILLIAM H. GOODING was called to sit in his stead and participate in the decision of this cause.
