Schlosberg v. Shannon & Luchs Co. Et Al‪.‬

HOOD, Associate Judge. Jack Schlosberg appeals from a judgment against him for $2,000 on a check given by him to Shannon & Luchs Company. The check was given under the following circumstances. Shannon & Luchs Company, a real estate broker, acting as agent for Jack Coopersmith, negotiated a contract for the sale of real estate from Coopersmith to Schlosberg at a price of $65,000. When the agreement was signed by Coopersmith and Schlosberg the latter gave Shannon & Luchs Company his check for $2,000 as a deposit to be applied in part payment on the purchase price. Shortly thereafter Schlosberg announced he would not complete the agreement and stopped payment on the check. Thereupon Shannon & Luchs Company commenced this action.
