New York Court of Appeals

Thomas Gordon Malting Company, Appellant v. Bartels Brewing Company, Respondent. (Actions Nos. 1 & 2.)

November 26, 1912206 N.Y. 528

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment on the first contract, holding that the contract was with the Lake Shore Malting Company and Bartels Brewing Company was not liable, and reversed the judgment on the second contract, holding that a party who signs a contract in his own name is personally bound even when acting for another, thus granting a new trial.
