Our client was sued because his business partner signed an agreement promising that our guy would pay a certain debt. We moved to dismiss the complaint, arguing that the partner lacked the authority to bind our client to pay the debt. The trial judge denied our motion and ordered discovery to proceed. Read how the Appellate Division reversed and agreed with us, holding that “[s]ince the moving defendants established that neither … were signatories to the letter agreement, [they] cannot be bound by it.”
