Klein v. Horowitz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 6, 1934
240 App. Div. 495 (N.Y. App. Div. 1934)

Opinion

April 6, 1934.

Appeal from Supreme Court of Bronx County.

Sydney J. Schwartz of counsel [ Harry T. Zucker with him on the brief; Abraham Wilk, attorney], for the appellant.

Lewis Herman, for the respondent.

Present — FINCH, P.J., MERRELL, TOWNLEY, GLENNON and UNTERMYER, JJ.


Since it is admitted that the appellant is a trustee for the plaintiff, he is under a duty to account to her for his administration of the trust. The court should not, however, have directed payment to the plaintiff of the sum of $2,500, or any other sum, for the affidavits present issues of fact concerning the liability of the trustee upon any accounting which may be had.

The judgment and order should be modified by eliminating the provisions requiring the appellant to pay to the plaintiff the sum of $2,500, with interest, and by directing an accounting before the justice at Special Term, and as so modified affirmed, without costs.
