New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Municipal Consultants & Publishers, Inc., Respondent v. Town of Ramapo, Appellants
May 1, 197947 N.Y.2d 144
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Town of Ramapo was contractually obligated to Municipal Consultants & Publishers, Inc. despite the supervisor’s failure to sign the agreement. The Court reasoned that all essential terms were agreed and the board resolution authorized acceptance, making the contract enforceable without a signed writing.
