Hadcock Motors, Inc. v. Metzger
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
SCHNEPP, J.
Defendant, vendee appeals from a judgment which compels him to specifically perform an agreement to purchase real and personal property associated with an automobile dealership operated by plaintiff Hadcock Motors, Inc.
