McAvoy v. Schramme

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The provision of the contract that payment to the attorney shall be made in cash, though the property received by the client may be something other than cash, is inconsistent with an intention to make an equitable assignment.

The judgment should be affirmed with costs.

Cardozo, Ch. J., Pound, Crane, Andrews, Lehman, Kellogg and O’Brien, JJ., concur.

Judgment affirmed, etc.
