This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Pillsbury (P) bought 100 shares of Honeywell (D) stock, only one share of which was in his name. The sole purpose of this investment was to obtain the shareholder list from D and use it in P's Vietnam War protest activities. P wanted to build support for his anti-arms campaign. P requested the names and addresses of all of D's shareholders and d refused. He asks the Court to hold this as a 'proper purpose.'
