Bouker Contracting Co. v. Scribner

1 Citing case

  1. Gilbert v. Warren

    56 App. Div. 289 (N.Y. App. Div. 1900)   Cited 3 times

    There was no proof that notice of this dissolution was sent to any of the persons with whom the firm had had credits before the date when the dissolution took place, and, in the absence of that proof, Mr. Clarkson would continue liable to those persons for new purchases, although there was in fact a dissolution of the firm, unless it appeared that actual notice had been given to each one of those persons. ( Bouker Contracting Co. v. Scribner, 52 App. Div. 505; Elmira Iron S.R.M. Co. v. Harris, 124 N.Y. 280.) As we know nothing about the condition of these liabilities after the 10th of April, 1889, and nothing about the extent of the dealings with old creditors of the firm who had no notice of any change in the status, we are not able to say that Mr. Clarkson's liability for debts of the firm did not continue until the time of his death.
