Meckel v. Continental Resources Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that \[t]here must [also] be . . . some proof that the regular . . . practice was not followed or was carelessly executed so the presumption that [the document] was mailed becomes unreasonable.\
• stating that “[u]nlike the ordinary trustee, who has historic common-law duties imposed beyond those in the trust agreement, an indenture trustee is more like a stakeholder whose duties and obligations are exclusively defined by the terms of the indenture agreement”
• observing that an affiant can have personal knowledge of regular mailing procedures even if he “did not work in the mailroom, go to the post office, state the procedures that were followed, [or] . . . personally do the mailing”
• explaining how “affidavit and deposition testimony” described “four methods” by 16 which both machines and humans “reviewed,” “matched,” “checked,” “metered,” “compared,” 17 and “verif[ied]” the documents to be mailed in order “to assure proper mailing”
• rejecting the argument that “there was insufficient proof of mailing because the employee who actually did so was not produced,” since “the proof of the regular course of business in this regard sufficed” (internal ellipses and quotation marks omitted)
• “[U]nder New York law personal knowledge is required only to establish regular office procedure, not the particular mailing.”
