Davenport v. Dickson

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “A novation is never presumed, and the burden is on the party asserting it to establish the essential requirements.”
• even if assignee undertakes to perform assignor’s duties, assignor remains bound by those duties so long as his creditor does not accept assignee’s new promise in lieu of duty of assignor; such assumption merely gives the creditor an additional security; citing Corbin on Contracts
