New York Supreme Court April 21, 1967 (Piazza v. Sutherland)

Jack Stanislaw, J.

On February 13, 1963 the parties put their names to a document upon which Piazza, the plaintiff bases this action for specific performance. Sutherland and D’Elia, the defendants, insist that the document is not sufficient to withstand their defense based upon the Statute of Frauds (General Obligations Law, § 5-703).
