New York Court of Appeals
James E. McCabe, Respondent v. John T. Goodfellow
April 12, 1892133 N.Y. 89
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the General Term, holding that the Law and Order League is not an unincorporated association within the meaning of §1919 of the Code of Civil Procedure and that its members are not personally liable for the attorney's fees incurred by the league's officers. Because the plaintiff failed to show that all members were jointly or severally liable, his action for services rendered could not stand.
