Clark v. Johnston

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 1, 1910
141 App. Div. 926 (N.Y. App. Div. 1910)

Opinion

December, 1910.

Present — Ingraham, P.J. (dissenting), Clarke, Scott, Miller and Dowling, JJ.


Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. No opinion.


I do not think this levy should have been vacated. My view upon a motion of this character is stated in my dissenting opinion in Bridges v. Wade ( 113 App. Div. 362). Where a question is presented as to whether a levy is sufficient to obtain a lien upon an amount due to the defendant by a party who has been served with a warrant of attachment in this State, I think the question of the sufficiency of the levy should be determined upon a proceeding to enforce it, and not upon a motion to vacate it; but, assuming that a motion to vacate this levy was proper, I think the facts bring this case within Flynn v. White ( 122 App. Div. 780); that the liability in favor of the defendant upon which this levy is made arose within this State; that that liability could be enforced within this State, and that the court below was, therefore, in error in vacating the levy. For the reasons stated I think the order should be reversed and the levy reinstated.
