Barnes v. Gibbons

City of New York Municipal Court

Barnes v. Gibbons

20 Abb. N. Cas. 10

City of New York Municipal Court·Decided May 15, 1884·Published

Opinion

Nehbbas, J.

The demurrer to the complaint was served on May 14, and on the 20th the defendant served an answer as an amended pleading. This practice is regular. Although the demurrer is noticed for argument, the service of an answer within six days after service of the demurrer defeats the argument on the former pleading. Before the time to amend expires, the plaintiff may notice the demurrer for argument; but he does so at the risk of avoiding his proceedings by an amendment of the pleading (Robertson v. Bennett, 1 Abb. N. C. 476; Frank v. Bush, 2 Civ. Pro. R. [Browne] 250; S. C., 63 How. Pr. 282).
