New York Court of Appeals
Henry S. Orr, as Executors and Trustees Under the Will of John C. Orr, Deceased, Respondents v. Doubleday…
April 23, 1918223 N.Y. 334
Summary
The Court affirmed the judgment that the tenant's March 29, 1911 notice was a valid renewal notice that automatically extended the lease for an additional ten years without requiring acknowledgment or a new lease. The Court held that the Statute of Fractions did not apply because the renewal created a present demise, not a new contract.
