Description

CAYTON, Chief Judge. In this case Abe Weinstein sued Wolf Cavalier for breach of a contract of employment. His claim was that
on September 13, 1948 defendant employed him as a furrier for a period of one year at an agreed salary of $125 per week. He
charged that he entered and continued upon his employment until February 7, 1949 when defendant refused to accept his services.
Trial was by jury and resulted in a verdict for plaintiff for $2044, which represented the amount of plaintiff's claim less
certain deductions for salary he had earned elsewhere during the period involved. By voluntary remittitur, the jury's award
was reduced to $1914 and after motion for new trial was argued and overruled judgment was entered in favor of plaintiff for
that amount. The case is here on defendant's appeal. It is argued by appellant that there should have been a directed verdict in his favor because the evidence did not establish
a contract for a full year's employment. As to this we rule that there was ample evidence from which the jury could have found
that there was a clear and express agreement between the parties under which plaintiff was assured of employment for a full
year. A directed verdict would not have been proper.
