LANDLORD AND TENANT, § 281.1 — power of equity court to order restitution of rent overcharges in action under Federal regulations. In action charging defendant, with violations of Rent Regulations for Housing, in which it was sought to enjoin him from receiving higher rent than maximum allowable under Rent Regulation, and for order requiring defendant to refund to tenant all amounts received in excess of maximum rent, where defendant contended that he had right to trial by jury and that equity court was without authority under statute to order restitution of overcharges to tenant not party to suit, held that such contention was without merit and that judgment for plaintiff was properly entered.
