New York Court of Appeals

Charles M. Adams, Respondent v. James G. Fitzpatrick, Appellants

January 13, 1891125 N.Y. 124

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the plaintiff's continued employment after the original one‑year contract created an implied renewal for another year, that the Statute of Frauds did not bar that implication, and that the plaintiff was entitled to damages equal to the salary difference for the remainder of the year.
