New York Court of Appeals

Philip S. Crooke, Respondent v. Benjamin Andrews, Appellant

June 15, 186940 N.Y. 547

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the demurrer, holding that the complaint failed to state a cause of action because the alleged tax‑sale lien appears valid on its face and any defect could only be shown by extrinsic evidence, which is insufficient for equitable relief.
