New York Court of Appeals
Worrall Against Munn and Prall.
July 5, 18515 N.Y. 229
Summary
The Court affirmed the decree of specific performance, holding that the contract for the sale of land executed by an agent under a parol authority was valid and binding on the principal, and that delivery to the party was an absolute delivery, not a conditional escrow. The statute of frauds was satisfied by the vendor's signature alone.
