New York Court of Appeals

Elizabeth H. Moore, Appellant v. John A. Potter

April 19, 1898155 N.Y. 481

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the General Term, holding that a vendor may resell goods when the buyer, here a receiver, refuses to accept them, without needing court permission, and that such resale is not contempt or void. The vendor may recover the difference between the contract price and the resale price as damages.
