A. J. Armstrong Co. v. Ruth Nechamkin

Ruth Nechamkin had executed a guarantee in favor of A. J. Armstrong Co., Inc., to induce it to make a loan to a corporation known as Olim Sales Corp. The guarantee contained a waiver of ""all right to a jury trial in any action against the undersigned [guarantor]."" A jury waiver clause in a guarantee is enforceable (James Talcott, Inc. v Wilson Hosiery Co., 32 A.D.2d 524; Bonnie-Lassie Sportswear v Century Factors, 283 App Div 702), and the defendant and third-party plaintiff has offered no adequate reason to deny enforcement of the waiver in the case at bar.
