New York Court of Appeals

Conrad Loos, Respondents v. John Wilkinson, Impleaded

May 3, 1889113 N.Y. 485

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s accounting of rents and profits received by John Wilkinson, a fraudulent grantee, allowing deductions for taxes, necessary repairs, interest at the legal rate, and the agent's commission, but striking the credit for insurance premiums. The court reasoned that equity requires a net‑rent accounting that reflects necessary expenditures while denying reimbursement for benefits not serving the creditors.
