Spink & Son, Ltd., Plaintiff, v. General Atlantic Corporation et al., Defendants., 167 Misc. 2d 120

Summary

Although the court found that England had a greater interest in the subject of the litigation, the purchaser asserted that English law, which did not require a writing for the enforcement of the contract, should not be applied. Purchaser claimed that this was based upon the public policy of New York that required a writing in order to enforce a contract for the sale of goods for a price in excess of $ 500. N.Y. U.C.C. Law § 2-201. The court concluded that the New York law, which pertained to the enforcement of a contract for the sale of goods, did not represent such a strong public policy that the court should deny enforcement of the contract that was enforceable where it was made.
