New York Court of Appeals

Henry L. Fox Co., Inc. v. William Kaufman Organization, Ltd.

July 11, 198974 N.Y.2d 136

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and dismissed the breach of contract claim, holding that the plaintiff failed to satisfy Insurance Law §2119(a)(1) because there was no signed memorandum specifying the compensation, and that the writings could not be pieced together to meet the statutory writing requirement.
