House v. Mitchell

245 A.D. 833

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided July 15, 1935·Published

Opinion

In an action on a promissory note made by defendant McGovern to the appellant and indorsed to plaintiff, order granting plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and the judgment entered thereon reversed on the law, with ten doUars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten doUars costs. In our opinion, the record discloses that in this action there are issues which cannot be tried on affidavits. The mere form of the indorsement is not conclusive against the appellant, but his explanation in his affidavit, if true, furnishes a complete defense. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Tompkins and Johnston, JJ., concur.
