Larned v. Beal

23 A. 149, 65 N.H. 184

Opinion

Doe, C. J.

It is not material in this case whether the corporation de facto was a corporation de jure or not. A want of regularity in its organization would not affect the validity of its contract with the plaintiff, and would not give him, against its members, as unincorporated persons, an action on a contract which he made with them as a corporation.
