Kimma v. Leonard Chazen, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The purpose of an oral indorsement is merely to apprise the defendant of the nature of the cause of action which function was served here by the indorsement.

The summary statement of the cause of action indorsed on the summons was legally sufficient pursuant to section 78 of the Municipal Court Code.

The judgment should be reversed and new trial ordered, with $30 costs to appellant.

Heoht, Aurelio and Tilzer, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
