Jarvis v. Lavine

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided March 31, 1922PublishedCited by 1 opinion

Appeal by the defendant, Joseph G. Lavine, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the New York Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 14th day of February, 1922, denying his motion to -set aside the service of the summons herein.

1Per curiam

Rule 45 of the Rules of Civil Practice requires the summons to be in substantially the form therein provided. We think the form of the summons - provided by section 418 of the Code of Civil Procedure is a substantial compliance with the provisions of said rule, and the court obtains jurisdiction by the service of the summons in the old form.

The order appealed from is, therefore, affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.

Present — Dowling, Laughlin, Smith, Merrell and Greenbaum, JJ.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
