  1. Do Now The members of the “last man’s club” purchased a lodge in upstate NY to serve as their headquarters. As part of the arrangement, the embers agreed that the last surviving member of the club would assume ownership of the lodge. The last surviving member of the club, Crawford, claimed exclusive title to the property. Quinn, the daughter of a deceased club member, contested Crawford’s ownership. She argued that the contract was actually a wager (bet) and therefore illegal.

  2. Do Now, Continued Is Quinn correct? Why or why not? Quinn v. Stuart Lakes Club, Inc., 439 N.Y.S.2d 30 (NY) The courts decided that this was a wager, and therefore the agreement was illegal. The lodge was sold, and the proceeds were split evenly amongst the family of the deceased family members.
