Home/Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York/Conrad v. Golden

Conrad v. Golden

275 A.D.2d 946
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided June 13, 1949·Published

Opinion

In our opinion the alleged contract upon which the action is based is too vague and indefinite to be enforced. It does not set forth the full intention of the parties with such certainty and explicitness that the intention of the parties may therefrom be ascertained with a reasonable degree of certainty. Moreover, the provision in the contract that it should terminate upon the mutual consent of the parties is mere surplusage, and the contract, without a term of its duration, was terminable at will.

J., Johnston, Adel, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ., concur.
