New York Court of Appeals

Max Mayer, Appellant v. James McCreery, Respondent

February 25, 1890119 N.Y. 434

Summary

The Court held that the exchanged letters did not create a completed lease because the agreement was conditioned on a future mutual agreement regarding alteration plans, which never materialized. Consequently, the plaintiff could not obtain specific performance of a lease, and the General Term's reversal of the Special Term was affirmed.
