U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit · Decided March 30, 1949 · Frank
173 F.2d 475; 81 U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 84; 1949 U.S. App. LEXIS 4575 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

International Spotlight Corp. v. Casco Products Corp.

Opinion of the Court

FRANK, Circuit Judge.

We agree with the opinion of the district judge. Attempting to answer his reasoning, plaintiff in this court advanced an argument,- apparently not made in the district court, to the effect that the words “for any cause” in the second sentence of Paragraph Twelfth of the contract limit the application -of that sentence- to a cancellation “for cause,” i.e., by the plaintiff under *481Paragraph Fourteen or by the defendant under Paragraph Nineteen. Considering the contract as a whole, we think such an interpretation unreasonably strained and that those words mean “for any reason pursuant to any provision of the contract.”

Affirmed.
