8 Misc. 2d 902 (N.Y. App. Term 1957)

160 N.Y.S.2d 895

Opinion

February 7, 1957

Appeal from the Municipal Court of the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, NATHANIEL SORKIN, J.

E. Edan Spencer and Robert D. Foglia for appellant.

Seymour J. Goldman and Abraham J. Yasgour for respondent.

Per Curiam.

The testimony of plaintiff and that of her lay witness, unsupported by expert testimony, is not sufficient to overcome the expert testimony of defendant that the dentures have been adjusted and the teeth are in proper occlusion ( Young v. Wybrant, 61 N.Y.S.2d 473).

The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered, without costs.

HECHT, AURELIO and TILZER, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
