FARASH V. SYKES DATATRONICS, INC.
452 N.E.2d 1245 (1983)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over an oral contract to lease a building with
improvements made under that contract. Farash (P), promisee, sought review of an order
reversing an order from the trial court that had denied Sykes' (D), promissor's, motion for
summary judgment, and granting the motion. P sought to recover damages for the value of the
work performed in reliance on D's representations that he otherwise would not have made.
FACTS: P owned a building. P claims that D entered into an agreement to lease the
building after P completed renovation of the building and made certain modifications on an
expedited basis. D never signed a contract and never occupied the building. P sued D and
plead three causes of action. The first was to enforce an oral lease for a term longer than
one year. The second cause of action seeks to recover for the value of the work performed by
P in reliance on the statements by and at the request of D. The third was that the parties
contracted by exchanging promises and that P had performed. D moved to dismissed for failure
to state a cause of action. The lower court denied the motion. The Appellate division
reversed. This appeal resulted.
