New York Court of Appeals

William Halsted, Respondents v. Globe Indemnity Company, Appellant, and Peter G. Gerry, as Executors…

January 5, 1932258 N.Y. 176

Summary

The Court held that the transfer of the leased premises to a corporation wholly owned by the lessor's heirs did not constitute a "sale" within the lease and bond, so the surety bond was not cancelled and the securities were not to be returned. Accordingly, the judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' claim was affirmed.
