Slaughter v. Turkel

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 20, 1911
146 App. Div. 620 (N.Y. App. Div. 1911)

Opinion

October 20, 1911.

Abraham I. Spiro of counsel [ Spiro Wasservogel, attorneys], for the appellants.

George H. Francoeur of counsel [ Warren Leslie, attorney], for the respondent.


The complaint is framed in equity, and the relief demanded is an accounting. This court has repeatedly held that in an action for an accounting the only examination to which the plaintiff is entitled before trial is as to such facts as are material and necessary to be proved to entitle him to an interlocutory judgment. He may not have an accounting until he has first established that he is entitled to it.

The order appealed from should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and the motion to vacate granted, with ten dollars costs.

INGRAHAM, P.J., McLAUGHLIN, LAUGHLIN and MILLER, JJ., concurred.

Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion to vacate granted, with ten dollars costs.
