Northwest Engineering Co. v. Rappl

New York Supreme Court

Decided July 11, 1928PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtThompson, J.

Without doubt the affidavit is defective in that it fails to set forth the alleged cause of the detention of the property replevined “ according to the best knowledge, information and *498belief of the person making the affidavit.” (Civ. Prac. Act, §§ 1095, 1096, subd. 4; Wagman v. Raynor, 163 App. Div. 68.)

It appears that before any action was taken on the part of the plaintiff it made a demand on the defendants for the return of the machine, and it was refused. So plaintiff here asks permission to amend its affidavit by inserting a clause setting forth these facts.

This is not such a mistake,…
