Bethlehem Fabricators, Inc. v. British Overseas Airways Corporation

HAYS, Circuit Judge:

In the district court, plaintiff Bethlehem Fabricators, Inc., recovered damages of $78,115.98 plus interest from defendant British Overseas Airways Corporation in an action based upon breach of contract and tortious misrepresentation arising from an oral promise to require a performance and payment bond. The action was originally brought in the New York courts, and was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on the ground of diversity of citizenship. Defendant appeals from the judgment entered upon the jury’s verdict. We affirm.
