New York Court of Appeals
Girard L. McEntee, Appellant v. Kingston Water Company, Respondent
November 27, 1900165 N.Y. 27
Summary
The Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts and ordered a new trial, restoring the injunction that restrains the water company from cutting off the plaintiff's water supply. It held that an implied contract exists between a quasi‑public water corporation and a consumer who receives regular water service, and that the corporation may not shut off service while it is in default of that contract.
