Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of the City of New York, Inc. v. City of New York, Appellant City of New York v…

Summary

The Court held that the alleged collective bargaining agreement between the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and the City of New York was not sufficiently integrated to support summary judgment; the question of whether the parties intended a binding agreement is a factual issue that must be tried. Accordingly, it reversed the grant of summary judgment to the plaintiffs and affirmed the remainder of the lower court's order. Chief Judge Fuld dissented, arguing that no factual dispute existed and that summary judgment should have been affirmed.
