Santini Bros. v. Smith

250 A.D. 53, 293 N.Y.S. 765, 1937 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8268

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The stipulation is enforcible but its meaning is sufficiently ambiguous to require the taking of oral proof of the surrounding facts and circumstances to determine the true meaning and intention of the parties.

The order appealed from entered December 4, 1936, should be reversed and the matter remitted to an official referee to take testimony and report to the Special Term, disposition of the motion to be held in abeyance until the coming in of the referee’s report. The order denying motion for resettlement should be affirmed.
