Graham v. Polizzi
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 2, 1938
255 A.D. 1030; 8 N.Y.S.2d 694; 1938 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6316
Graham v. Polizzi

Opinion of the Court

Judgment reversed on the law and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellants to abide the event. Memorandum: The proof supports the allegations of the complaint. No affirmative defense was pleaded or proved. Nevertheless we cannot grant judgment for the plaintiffs because the plaintiffs asked for damages, and made some proof of damages which are unliquidated. The proof of damages required submission to the jury. We must, therefore, order a new trial. All concur. (The judgment is for defendant in a replevin action.) Present — Sears, P. J., Crosby, Cunningham, Taylor and Dowling, JJ.
