New York Court of Appeals

Skaneateles Country Club v. Olivia Cambs

October 24, 2023

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the Assignment Agreement was a license and that nothing in its terms limited the Country Club's general right to revoke the license at will. The Court therefore reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated Supreme Court's judgment in favor of the Country Club. The decision rested on the agreement's failure to alter the ordinary rule governing revocable licenses.
