Groff v. Hagan
City of New York Municipal Court
Appeal from special term. Action by Frederick G-. Groff, as assignee, against Thomas Hagan. From an order denying a motion for a bill of particulars, defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtNewburger, J.
Without considering all the questions raised by the appellant, there is one reason why the order appealed from should be reversed. The affidavit upon which the order is made is by the attorney for the plaintiff. It has been repeatedly held that an order for a bill of particulars will not be granted on the affidavit of the attorney. Van Olinda v. Hall (Sup.) 31 N. Y. Supp. 495; Dueber Watch-Case Manuf’g Co. v. Keystone Watch-Case Co. (Sup.) 21 N. Y. Supp. 342; Gridley v. Gridley, 7 Civ. Proc. R. 215.
The order appealed from must therefore be reversed, with costs.
