Christenfeld v. Davidson
Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 3, 1905 · Giegerich
92 N.Y.S. 1119 (New York Supplement)
Christenfeld v. Davidson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We are unable to distinguish the contract involved in this action from that which was considered in Jacobs v. Cohen (Sup.) 90 N. Y. Supp. 854, and was condemned by the Appellate Division of the Second Department as contrary to public policy and void. Upon the authority of that case, the judgment must be reversed, and the complaint dismissed, with costs to the appellant in this court and the court below.

Concurring Opinion

GIEGERICH, J.

(concurring in result only). Although I agree with the dissenting opinion in Jacobs v. Cohen (Sup.) 90 N. Y. Supp. 854, I nevertheless feel constrained by the decision of the majority in that case to vote for a reversal.
