Legal Opinion

J. A. Mahlstedt Lumber & Coal Co. v. Westchester Electric Railroad

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

Decided October 15, 1921Published

1Opinion of the Court

Evidence as to damage in consequence of the loss of use of the truck was improperly admitted, because not pleaded as special damage. This error could not be cured by an amendment of the complaint after decision. (Ward v. Bronson, 126 App. Div. 508, 510.) The order of the City Court of New Rochelle is, therefore, reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and the motion denied, with ten dollars costs. Blaekmar, P. J., Mills, Rich, Jayeox and Manning, JJ., concur.
