Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Apr 5, 2016
2016 N.Y. Slip Op. 69555 (N.Y. App. Div. 2016)

Summary

In Brooks v. Pitts, 24 Ga. App. 386 (1) (100 S.E. 776) this court held that the mere fact that the defendant procured credit and promised to pay for an ordinary current purchase of goods, and subsequently failed to meet his obligation prior to the time that he voluntarily went into bankruptcy (some 34 days thereafter) is not of itself sufficient evidence of obtaining property by false pretenses.
