Court Rules Stock Increase Was Validated by Ratification

In a Pacific National Bank related case, Judge Colt holds that the defendant who subscribed for a proposed $500,000 stock increase but later learned the final increase was $461,300, and who voted against old stock assessments yet accepted a stock certificate, cannot now dispute the final increase as invalid. The decision cites Delano v Butler and Eaton v Pacific National Bank, noting the defendant’s conduct may amount to a waiver of rights to require full subscription. Judgment for plaintiff $25,000 for injuries is noted in a separate action.
