Scott v. Detroit Cleveland Navigation Company

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 12, 1952
279 App. Div. 975 (N.Y. App. Div. 1952)

Opinion

March 12, 1952.

Present — Taylor, P.J., McCurn, Vaughan, Kimball and Wheeler, JJ.


Order reversed, on the law, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion granted, with $10 costs, with leave to plaintiff to plead over within twenty days upon payment of costs. Memorandum: The complaint fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. (See Beatty v. McCutcheon, 200 App. Div. 869. ) A bill of particulars is no part of the pleadings and cannot enlarge a cause of action or perfect an imperfect pleading. ( Dodge v. Weill, 158 N.Y. 346.) All concur. (Appeal from order denying defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiff's first cause of action, in a negligence action.)
