The Rider Life Raft Company, Appellant v. John Roach, Impleaded

Summary

The Court held that the ultra vires plea cannot be used by an individual against a corporation where the contract was authorized by the proper officers and no proof of lack of authority exists, and that the joint contractors are jointly liable for monies received. It also affirmed that the General Term order was appealable despite being silent on factual findings, assuming it was based on questions of law.
