131 Misc. 597

Bartley v. Pitcher

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1928-03-15

Decided 1928-03-15

Per Curiam.

¶1As it is provided by subdivision 3 of section 26 of the Municipal Court Code that where no guardian is appointed for an infant defendant in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of that section, the court, or a justice thereof, shall, at any time before judgment, make such appointment,” it was error, notwithstanding plaintiff’s application on the trial for the appointment of a guardian, to grant judgment for defendant dismissing the complaint because no guardian had been appointed.

¶2Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with thirty dollars costs to appellant to abide the event.

¶3All concur; present, Lydon, Levy and Crain, JJ.
