Moskowitz v. Feuer

265 A.D. 884, 38 N.Y.S.2d 242, 1942 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6317

Opinion

In the light of the admitted sale of the mill, apparently, although not expressly stated, to Continental Grain Company, there does not seem to have been even a showing of breach of contract. The inference created is that the sale terminated the lease of the mill by Continental Grain Company and, thereupon, the employment contracts, based upon that lease, were also terminated. In any event, on the facts as alleged, as distinguished from sheer conclusions, no cause of action is set forth to hold liable the defendant for the breach by Continental Grain Company, of which he was an officer and a director.
