New York Court of Appeals

Jesse W. Reno, Respondent v. Frederic Bull, Appellants

July 15, 1919226 N.Y. 546

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and ordered a new trial, holding that the trial court erred in instructing the jury that negligence, rather than intentional fraud, sufficed for liability, that the measure of damages should be the plaintiff's actual loss with interest, and that certain evidence was improperly admitted.
