New York Court of Appeals

Henry C. Adams, Appellant v. the Fort Plain Bank, Respondent

March 5, 186736 N.Y. 255

Summary

The Court held that attorney's fees and costs that accrued more than six years before the suit are barred by the statute of limitations, but affirmed recovery of two recent demands with interest, reversing the lower court's denial of interest and ordering a new trial. Justice Parser, dissenting, argued the statute should not bar the claims and that interest was not recoverable.
