Toohey v. Brooklyn & Queens Transit Corp.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided October 16, 1936
248 A.D. 894; 290 N.Y.S. 487; 1936 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7981
Toohey v. Brooklyn & Queens Transit Corp.

Opinion of the Court

In a negligence action, order directing a jury trial reversed on the law, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and plaintiffs’ motion denied, with ten dollars costs. In our opinion, the court was without power to direct a jury trial to aid it in the determination of the issues raised in the action where such jury trial had been waived by the parties. (Civ. Prac. Act, § 426.) Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Adel and Taylor, JJ., concur.
