Opinion

January 28, 1910.

Theodore Connoly, for the motion.

Herbert C. Smyth, in opposition.

Present — INGRAHAM, P.J., McLAUGHLIN, CLARKE, SCOTT and DOWLING, JJ.


It is not disputed but that on December 31, 1909, the defendant served a notice of appeal upon the attorney for the relator and on the same day filed a copy of the notice of appeal with the county clerk. The notice served on the attorney for the relator was returned upon the ground that it did not comply with section 796 of the Code of Civil Procedure in that the paper upon which such notice of appeal was typewritten was not of the quality and weight required by such section.

The appellant, therefore, seasonably and in good faith served a notice of appeal, both upon the clerk and the attorney for the adverse party, the service upon the attorney for the adverse party not being in the form required by the Code of Civil Procedure. The objection taken to this notice of appeal was extremely technical, and as a case is made out within section 1303 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the motion should be granted and the defendant allowed to serve a notice of appeal upon the relator nunc pro tunc as of the 31st of December, 1909.


Motion granted as stated in opinion. Settle order on notice.
