Liability on a contract.

Practice point: Officers and agents of a company are not personally liable unless they purport to bind themselves individually.

Student note: While privity is not required for an unjust enrichment claim, there must be a connection between the parties that could have caused plaintiff's reliance or inducement.

Case: Georgia Malone & Co., Inc. v. Rieder, NY Slip 05856 (1st Dept. 2011).


Tomorrow's issue: Orders granted on default.
