Lee A. Ochs, Appellant v. Albert H. Woods, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the plaintiff's fraud action and remanded for consideration of the facts. It held that the lower court's statement that the facts had been examined did not amount to a judgment on the merits, that contradictory witness testimony is for the jury, and that the evidence was sufficient to support a fraud verdict.
