DE CICCO V. SCHWEIZER
221 N.Y. 431, 116 N.E. 807 (1917)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a damages award resulting from a breach of
contract.
FACTS: Schweizer (D) made an agreement with his daughter and her fianc, the Count Oberto
Gullintelli, to pay an annual sum if they kept their promise to marry. The sum was to be
$2,500 per annum for her lifetime. The first payment was to be made on the wedding day,
January 20, 1902. D made payments until 1912. DeCicco (P), held an assignment executed by
the daughter and the Count. P sued to recover the payment for 1912. D defended the
nonpayment on the basis that the agreement was without consideration and therefore was
unenforceable. P won the judgment and D appealed.
