Willwerth v. Sterling Fire Insurance Company

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
May 19, 1954
283 App. Div. 979 (N.Y. App. Div. 1954)

Opinion

May 19, 1954.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Schoharie County.

Present — Foster, P.J., Bergan, Coon, Halpern and Imrie, JJ.


The action was based upon a policy of insurance against automobile collision damage and was commenced by the service of a bare summons on February 11, 1949. The case appeared on the trial calendar in Schoharie County at several terms although no complaint had been served. The complaint was apparently finally served some time in March, 1953. Although a considerable period of time elapsed between the date when the summons was served and the time when the complaint was finally served, no motion was made by the defendant for dismissal of the action. We do not find that the Special Term abused its discretion in refusing to grant the motion to dismiss. Order unanimously affirmed, with $10 costs.
