Sales Finance Corp. v. Dimock

This is an action of contract for merchandise sold and delivered under trust receipts. The declaration alleges that under the terms of the trust receipts the “defendant trustee” agreed not to sell until payment was made to the plaintiff, and that the trustee sold‘the property without paying the plaintiff. The question for consideration is whether the defendant’s obligations have been released by his discharge in bankruptcy. The trial judge found for the plaintiff. The Appellate Division vacated that finding and ordered a finding to be entered for the defendant. The plaintiff appealed.
