35 Misc. 826

Heitman v. Sire

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1901-06-15

<p>Appeal from a judgment rendered in favor of the defendant in the Municipal Court of the city of Mew York, eleventh district, borough of Manhattan.</p>

Decided 1901-06-15

Per Curiam.

¶1It may be conceded that the contract to bid on the property at a judicial sale for the sole purpose of advancing the price, was void as against public policy. The evidence, however, shows that the plaintiffs employ for the succeeding days was made after that action was completed, and this agreement in no way involved the question of public policy. For this reason we think the conclusion of the learned court below was erroneous.

¶2Present: Scott, P. J., Beach and Fitzgerald, JJ.

¶3Judgment reversed and new trial ordered, with costs to abide event.
