New York Court of Appeals

Elbert Stannard, Impleaded v. Charles E. Hubbell, Impleaded

December 2, 1890123 N.Y. 520

Summary

The Court affirmed the order of the Special Term, holding that a trial court cannot amend a final judgment to correct substantive errors and that the compensation clause of the 1883 contract was not adjudicated in the prior action, so no estoppel applies.
