Berger v. La Grasse
Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided January 26, 1905 · Davis, MacLean
92 N.Y.S. 1115 (New York Supplement)
Berger v. La Grasse

Opinion of the Court

DAVIS, J.

The judgment awarded damages to the plaintiff for a breach of covenant in a lease requiring the defendant to erect a front sidewalk garden within a specified time, and for a failure to restore certain rooms to a habitable condition. The evidence upon which the judgment was based is vague and speculative, and does not support an^ proper rule for estimating the damages, if, indeed, any were sustained. The judgment should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.

SCOTT, J., concurs.

MacLEAN, J.

Deeming that the plaintiff is entitled to a judgment upon the evidence, I dissent.
