Matter of Motor Club of America v. Curran

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 19, 1949
274 App. Div. 1083 (N.Y. App. Div. 1949)

Opinion

January 19, 1949.

Appeal from Supreme Court.

Present — Foster, P.J., Heffernan, Brewster, Deyo and Santry, JJ. [ 193 Misc. 157.]


Respondent refused to accept and file a certificate of authority for petitioner-appellant to do business in this State under the name "Motor Club of America" on the ground that such name too closely resembled a name already in use, to wit, "The Automobile Club of America, Inc." We cannot say that respondent, acting in an administrative capacity, did not have a reasonable basis for his determination. If the matter was debatable the choice was his and his determination is not subject to judicial interference. Order unanimously affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
