Sullivan v. Central Hanover Bank Trust Co.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jul 19, 1945
63 N.E.2d 76 (N.Y. 1945)

Opinion

Argued June 13, 1945

Decided July 19, 1945

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, STODDART, J.

Ralph Stout, William H. George and Thomas F. Twyford for appellant. Samuel E. Swiggett for respondents.


The evidence presented questions of fact as to defendants' negligence, the causal relation of such negligence to the accident and the authority of the witness Cavanagh to represent the defendants. It was error to grant defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint after the rendition of a verdict in favor of the plaintiff.

The judgments should be reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.

LEHMAN, Ch. J., LOUGHRAN, LEWIS, CONWAY, DESMOND, THACHER and DYE, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
