Savoy Finance Co. v. De Biase
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided January 4, 1933PublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPierce, J.
This is an action of contract in which the plaintiff seeks to recover upon a promissory note as set forth in its declaration. The answer is a general denial, payment, want of consideration, and the further answer that the note was void for illegality. At the trial the defendants waived so much of their answer as contained a denial of the genuineness of the signature and denial of the existence of the corporation. The plaintiff offered the note in evidence and rested. “The parties agreed to leave the question of counsel fee to the court, without offering any evidence on that point.”
