2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[Substantial compliance is: “simply a doctrine to assist the court in determining whether conduct should, in reality, be considered the equivalent of compliance under the contract.” ... Judge Cardozo, in the seminal substantial compliance case of Jacob & Youngs, Inc. v. Kent, concluded that performance of a contract will not be considered in substantial compliance of the contract if the deviation from the contract requirements ... ‘in any real substantial measure ... frustrate^] the purpose of the contract.’ 230 N.Y. 239 , 129 N.E. 889, 891 (1921). Thus, the touchstone of the substantial compliance inquiry is whether Defendants frustrated the purpose of the consent decree-i.e. its essential requirements.”
