Bank of the United States v. Strong
New York Supreme Court
Decided December 15, 1832PublishedCited by 3 opinions
The defendant moved to consolidate two suits prosecuted against him on promissory notes. The motion was granted, and the defendant asked for costs of motion.
1Opinion of the Court
By the Court,
Nelson, J.
It has not been usual to allow -costs on such motions, and therefore none will be granted in this case. But, for the future, costs will be granted where a rule for consolidation is ordered, unless a satisfactory reason is shewn for bringing two suits, where the whole demands might have been embraced in one suit
