1 Mass. App. Ct. 819 | Mass. App. Ct. | 1973
The defendant alleges an exception to the denial of his motion for a directed verdict after a jury trial in an action of contract based on a check drawn by the defendant. The check contains on the top left-hand side a printed legend “Oste Bros.” and beneath it an address. The defendant’s signature appears on the bottom right-hand side; there is nothing to indicate that the signature was in a representative capacity. The short answer to the defendant’s sole contention that the .plaintiff did not make out a case that the defendant, rather than “Oste Bros.,” was personally liable on the check is found in the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code,
So ordered.
