New York Court of Appeals

Louisa M. Stenton, Respondent v. Leonard W. Jerome, Appellants

September 5, 187354 N.Y. 480

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the defendants' sale of the plaintiff's stocks without notice was unauthorized under the margin agreement and that the plaintiff's subsequent payment of a balance, made to recover pledged bonds, did not constitute assent to the account and therefore did not bar her claim for damages.
