Opinion
November 26, 1984
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Orange County (Stolarik, J.).
Order affirmed, with costs.
Where a complaint charges conspiracy, defendants are entitled to extensive particulars ( Dwyer v Byrne, 280 App. Div. 864). Defendants Gershel, Tomita and Bloom's request for the substance of the alleged defamatory statements and the names of persons to whom the communications were made is proper ( Cromwell v Norton, 235 App. Div. 546, citing Mason v Clark, 75 App. Div. 460). They are also entitled to an itemization in a bill of particulars of special damages ( Von Ludwig v Schiano, 23 A.D.2d 789), and to the general description of plaintiff's attorneys' work which was the basis of the second cause of action of plaintiff's amended verified complaint demanding legal fees. Mollen, P.J., Titone, Thompson and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
