Arena v. State

Opinion of the Court

—Appeal by claimant from a judgment of the Court of Claims, dismissing his claim upon the merits. Claimant’s attorney was not afforded a fair opportunity to prepare for trial, he was limited as to his right to call witnesses under control of the State and his right to cross-examine was unduly restricted. Judgment of the Court of Claims reversed on the law and facts, with costs, and a new trial granted. All concur, except Brewster, J., who dissents.
