Lojo Realty Co. v. Estate of Isaac G. Johnson, Inc.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Apr 8, 1930
171 N.E. 791 (N.Y. 1930)

Opinion

Argued March 24, 1930

Decided April 8, 1930

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

Charles Hollender, Max Turner and John H. Unlandherm for appellant.

John Jay McKelvey for respondent.


The first, third and fourth questions certified are improper in form.

We interpret the second question as propounding an inquiry whether specific performance may be granted to an assignee of such a contract as is pleaded in the complaint if he has failed to tender a bond executed by his assignor. So interpreting it, the answer must be "no."

The order should be affirmed, with costs; the second question certified answered no; and the other questions are not answered.

CARDOZO, Ch. J., POUND, CRANE, LEHMAN, KELLOGG, O'BRIEN and HUBBS, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed, etc.
