New York Court of Appeals

Theodore Haebler, Appellants v. Elijah Myers, Respondents

April 19, 1892132 N.Y. 363

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts and held that the plaintiffs may maintain an action for money had and received against the defendants who received $900 under an order later reversed, because an implied promise of restitution runs to the plaintiffs even though they only held a lien at the time of payment.
