Allan J. Gray, Appellant v. Richmond Bicycle Company, Respondent

June 4, 1901167 N.Y. 348

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and ordered a new trial on a promissory‑note action. It held that a judgment from another state is a bar only if not procured by fraud, that fraud and any ratification or laches issues are questions for the jury, and that a New York court may enjoin enforcement of a foreign judgment when fraud is shown.
