A. S. Rampell, Inc. v. Hyster Company, Appellants-Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that all six causes of action pleaded by the plaintiff were legally sufficient, reversing the Appellate Division’s dismissal of the fifth and sixth causes and affirming the first four. The court found that Hyster's inducement of employees, Chester's breach of fiduciary duty, Shaffer's interference, the alleged conspiracy, breach of contract (including oral modifications), and fraud were each actionable.
