New York Court of Appeals

James Bigler, Respondent v. James Morgan, Appellant

May 20, 187977 N.Y. 312

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the contract required only a clear title to the upland and did not obligate the vendor to warrant riparian rights to oyster beds, that the plaintiff was ready and willing to perform by offering a deed, and that the plaintiff's expenses in examining title were recoverable as damages.
