2 Citing cases

  1. Alexander's Dept. Stores, Inc., v. Ohrbach's

    181 Misc. 839 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1944)   Cited 1 times

    And the Supreme Court of the United States in Eastman Co. v. Southern Photo Co. ( 273 U.S. 359, 379) said: "`Damages are not rendered uncertain because they cannot be calculated with absolute exactness. It is sufficient if a reasonable basis of computation is afforded, although the result be only approximate.' * * * Furthermore, a defendant whose wrongful conduct has rendered difficult the ascertainment of the precise damages suffered by the plaintiff, is not entitled to complain that they cannot be measured with the same exactness and precision as would otherwise be possible." (See, also, Wakeman v. Wheeler Wilson M'f'g Co., 101 N.Y. 205; Stevens v. Amsinck, 149 A.D. 220; Green v. Pure Oil Co., 247 A.D. 734; Usdansky v. Lane, 184 A.D. 140; Clark on Damages, ยง 787.) None of the three defendants offered any testimony on the hearings before me.

    159 Misc. 545 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1936)

    Even in actions for breach of contract, such damages are recoverable. ( Green v. Pure Oil Company, 247 A.D. 734.)
