Case: Continental Purchasing Co. v. Van Raalte Co. (1937) [pp. 1093-1097]
295 N.Y.S. 867
Facts: Mrs. Potter, employee of Van Raalte, assigned wages earned as security
for payment of an account she had with Steckler Sporting Goods. This was then
assigned to Continental. Van Raalte was notified of the assignment, but paid Mrs.
Potter, and not the assignee. Continental brought this action to recovery the
amount owed, and Van Raalte says he doesn’t owe this b/c it was already paid to
Mrs. Potter (This was done before statute that restricting assignability of
wages).
