Feinstein v. Jacobson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1914-03-06

Appeal by the plaintiff, Paizor Feinstein, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the New York Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 10th day of December, 1913, granting defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, and also from the judgment entered in said clerk’s office on the 11th day of December, 1913, upon said order.

Relies on Lewis v. . Gollner

Decided 1914-03-06

Per Curiam:

¶1The fact that the agreement provided, in case of its violation by-defendant, he should c be liable in damages and breach of contract” does not, in view of the circumstances, deprive plaintiff of the right to equitable relief. (Lewis v. Gollner, 129 N. Y. 227, 234; Diamond Match Co. v. Roeber, 106 id. 473, 486.) Defendant’s counsel concedes that the demurrer is bad, inasmuch as it did not specify the parties, failure to join whom constituted the defect. This defect in pleading could not be cured on the motion, under the Code of Civil Procedure, section 768.

¶2The judgment and order should be reversed, with costs, and the demurrer overruled, with ten dollars costs, with leave to the defendant to withdraw the demurrer and to answer upon payment of costs in this court and in the court below.

¶3Present — Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Clarke, Scott and Hotchkiss, JJ. ' ■
