Pinnel's Case 5 Co. Rep. 117a, also known as Penny v Cole, is an important case in English contract law, on the doctrine of part performance. In it, Sir Edward Coke opined that a part payment of a debt could not extinguish the obligation to pay the whole.
Famous quotes containing the word case:
“My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, & not of the intellectual faculties.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
