Moran Bros. Contracting Co. v. City of New York

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In the absence of any showing of fraud or palpable mistake, the decision of the borough president was conclusive. (Sweet v. Morrison, 116 N. Y. 19.) It was error for the trial court to deny defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

Order reversed, with ten dollars costs, and motion granted.

All concur. Present — Lydon, Hammer and Franken-THALER, JJ.
