New York Court of Appeals

Sylvester S. Stoddard, Appellant v. Lewis E. Whiting, Respondent

December 12, 187146 N.Y. 627

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the General Term’s judgment, holding that the assignee of Abiel Stoddard is entitled to redeem the land despite the defendant’s possession, because the assignment of Stoddard’s equitable interest was valid without a seal and the referee’s legal conclusions were reviewable.
