Hunter Printing Co. v. Ace Restaurant

258 App. Div. 1020 (N.Y. App. Div. 1940)

Opinion

January 24, 1940.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Albany county.


Appellant had loaned money to the license holder and taken as security an assignment of moneys which might thereafter be due because of the surrender of the license. The assignment was filed with the State Comptroller on December 3, 1937, two days after the surrender of the license. On December 7, 1937, the respondent obtained a judgment against the licensee. On February 11, 1938, it served a third party subpoena upon the State Comptroller in a proceeding supplementary to judgment and in August, 1938, brought action in the Supreme Court to have the assignment to appellant declared void. A motion by respondent in that action for summary judgment was denied. It then moved at Special Term in this proceeding for an order directing the Comptroller to pay over to it sufficient of the funds arising from the surrender of the license to satisfy its judgments. This appeal is from the order granting that motion. We believe that an arguable issue exists which should be tried in an action and not disposed of summarily. ( Esbeco Distilling Corp. v. Block, ante, p. 757; Id. p. 1001.) Order reversed on the law and facts, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs. Hill, P.J., Crapser, Bliss, Heffernan and Foster, JJ., concur.
