Hyde of Massachusetts, Inc. v. Gray
Hyde of Massachusetts, Inc. v. Gray
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff sold certain chattels under a conditional sales contract, to a sub-lessee
The testimony revealed that the lessee, while apparently an individual corporation, was in fact the alter egO' of the plaintiff. From this evidence the chancellor found the plaintiff-vendor and the lessee to be one and the same. Thus, upon the sub-lessee’s default in payments on the chattels the lessee became the absolute owner of them. For this reason, the landlord’s lien was superior to that of the alleged conditional vendor, and the chancellor was correct in so holding.
Affirmed.
