New York Court of Appeals

The Duplex Safety Boiler Co., Respondent v. C. Henry Garden, Appellants

February 9, 1886101 N.Y. 387

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the contract's condition of payment upon the defendants' satisfaction was to be interpreted objectively, not as a subjective discretion solely for the defendants, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to the agreed price.
