International Accountants' Society, Inc. v. Montreuil

OPINION

CLAIBORNE, J.

This is a suit on a promissory note.

The plaintiff alleged that it is the owner of a promissory note dated April 22nd, 1925, for $155 signed by defendant, payable $10 cash - and $8 on the last day of each month beginning June 1st, 1925, until paid; that $18 has been paid on account leaving a balance due of $137.

The defendant denied the capacity of plaintiff.

One who has contracted with a corporation and has received a benefit from it cannot deny its existence. Liverpool & London Fire & Life Ins. Co. vs. Hunt, 11 La. Ann. 623; East Pascagoula Hotel Co. vs. West, 13 La. Ann.…
