Court of Appeals of New York

In response to a certified question from a federal court of appeals, the New York Court of Appeals held that, where the second of two conflicting provisions in a guaranty requires that any modification be in writing, N.Y. Gen'l. Obligations Law 15-301(1) does not alter the common-law rules of interpretation for determining which provision controls.
