Caren v. Liebovitz
113 A.D. 674
N.Y. App. Div.
1906
Check Treatment
Gaynor, J.:

It is not necessary to inquire into the disputed question whether the covenants the plaintiff wanted to put in the second contract would have been incumbrances on the property. The refusal of the plaintiff to make the second contract the same in. its terms as the first did not defeat the consideration for the check. It was given for a good consideration, viz., the first contract, and that remains and can be enforced. The plaintiff is just as much bound by the contract as it was first drawn as she would be if it were drawn over and signed again., It satisfies the provisions of the Statute of Frauds, and is complete against her. That the purchaser has not signed it does not detract from its effect against her.

The judgment should be affirmed.

Hirschberg, P. J., Woodward and Rich, JJ., concurred. Miller, J., dissented on the ground that the plaintiff herself refused to perform the contract.

Judgment of the Municipal Court affirmed, with costs.
