Chard v. Ryan-Parker Construction Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided February 15, 1921 · Clarke
195 A.D. 929
Chard v. Ryan-Parker Construction Co.

Opinion of the Court

Present — Clarke, P. J., Laughlin, Dowling, Merrell and Greenbaum, JJ.; Clarke, P. J., and Greenbaum, dissenting.

Dissenting Opinion

Clarke, P. J. (dissenting):

I dissent upon the ground that the finding of the jury that the contract in suit is not illegal and against public policy is clearly against the evidence and the weight thereof. It seems clear to me that its sole purpose was to engage political aid and that it obviously tended to secret and improper resort to public officers.
