New York Court of Appeals
Charles F. Wigand, Appellant v. Bachmann-Bechtel Brewing Company, Respondent
January 8, 1918222 N.Y. 272
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the brewing contract required the defendant to continue operating its brewery in good faith for five years or until 500,000 barrels of beer were produced, and that the defendant's abandonment breached the contract, warranting a new trial to determine damages. The court reversed the lower court's dismissal and remanded for a new trial.
