New York Court of Appeals

The Schenectady and Saratoga Plank Road Company Against Thatcher.

June 5, 185411 N.Y. 102

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that a plank road company may be incorporated without the entire capital stock being subscribed, that directors may require payment of subscriptions, that a director who participated in the election cannot later challenge the corporation's organization, that a subscriber remains liable for calls made before a transfer of his shares, and that the construction of a legislatively authorized branch road does not discharge a subscriber's liability.
