Kelly v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co.

203 Ill. App. 207 | Ill. App. Ct. | 1917

Mr. Justice Holdom

delivered the opinion of the court.

Abstract of the Decision. Master and servant, § 3*—when contract of employment is unilateral and unenforceable. A contract of employment under which the employer is bound to use the services of the employee for a specified term but the employee has the right to quit work at any time he sees fit is unilateral, lacking in mutuality, and is consequently unenforceable.
