Siegel Hodges v. Hodges

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Mar 2, 1961
174 N.E.2d 533 (N.Y. 1961)

Opinion

Argued January 12, 1961

Decided March 2, 1961

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, J. IRWIN SHAPIRO, J.

Irving Lemov for appellant.

Norbert Ruttenberg and Edward Cherney for respondent.


Judgment affirmed, without costs; no opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, FROESSEL, VAN VOORHIS and Foster.


The complaint states a cause of action for services performed but any recovery must be limited to the value of services rendered by Siegel alone. I do not think that Special Term and the majority are correct in holding that Siegel can bring an action in his individual capacity.
