New York Court of Appeals
Claude Charlebois v. J.M. Weller Associates, Inc.
December 1, 198872 N.Y.2d 587
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the design‑build contract between the Charleboises and J.M. Weller Associates is not void as against public policy because the engineering services were performed by a properly licensed professional engineer, satisfying the licensing requirements of the Education Law. The dissent argued the contract should be void for allowing an unlicensed corporation to indirectly provide professional services.
