McMillan v. Western Union Telegraph Co.

Citations

• 60 Fla. 131

Syllabus

<p>On Behearing.</p> <p>1. A message reading “We want some brick when are you going to skip” puts a telegraph company on notice that substantial business loss to the addressee may follow non-delivery.</p> <p>2. The fact that one party may at will put an end to a continuing contract does not destroy the right to substantial damages against a telegraph company whose negligence alone actually caused its discontinuance.</p>
