CONTENTS TRANSLATION CITATION FACTS ISSUE DECISION REASON WHAT IF······？ TRANSLATION 《麦金诉美国银行文具公司案》引自大西洋海岸案例集第二辑195卷第2辑，由马里兰州在1963年判决。 法官Sybert 原告对支持被告诉讼请求的简易判决提起上诉。上诉人（ 即原告McGinn）向被告（美国银行文具公司及其董事长）提起股权诉讼 ，要求强制执行其所声称的“合同”——以每股五十美元的价格卖给自己该公司库藏股票一百股。 上诉人却再没有提出少量股票的购买要求。后来，上诉人询问Sheridan他何时能得到股票，被告知公司当时不需要资金，如果需要资金会通知他的。没有任何 的记录或备忘录记载“所谓的合同” 。上诉人也从没有付款，用他的话说，“如果我不知道要买多少股，什么时候买，怎么会去付款呢？”被上诉人的主要抗辩理由是认证的证据没有合同。 CITATION The name of the case is McGinn v.
