Illinois Casket Co. v. Cohn

Appellate Court of Illinois, Chicago, First District
May 2, 1944
323 Ill. App. 279 (Ill. App. Ct. 1944)

Opinion

Gen. No. 42,787. (Abstract of Decision.)

Opinion filed May 2, 1944

SALES, § 232when assignment of account is not valid counterclaim in action for balance of price. In action to recover balance for goods sold and delivered, where counterclaim was entered by defendant covering an account due him on oral contract, which he asserted was purchased outright from him and transferred to plaintiff by his written assignment, held that this assignment, which was absolute on its face, did not constitute an outright purchase of such account by plaintiff but was turned over and later assigned to plaintiff merely for the purpose of collecting same, if possible, for defendant's benefit and credit, and there was therefore no merit in defendant's counterclaim.
