Warner-Quinlan Asphalt Co. v. Am. Asphalt Paint

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

187 App. Div. 944 (N.Y. App. Div. 1919)

Opinion

March, 1919.

Present — Clarke, P.J., Dowling, Smith, Page and Shearn, JJ.


When this case was before us on the appeal from an order denying plaintiff's motion for a bill of particulars ( 182 App. Div. 235) we pointed out that there was an ambiguity in the contract which required evidence to remove, and for that reason we refused to construe the contract on a motion. Notwithstanding this plain statement of our views, the plaintiff has made two motions for judgment on the pleadings before different justices at Special Term, and taken this appeal. The bills of particulars that have been served have not resolved the question of construction of the contract. It should be construed on the trial in the light of such evidence as may be appropriately received to remove the ambiguity. The order should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.


Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
