Costas v. Marmarellis

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department
Dec 20, 1951
200 Misc. 912 (N.Y. App. Term 1951)

Opinion

December 20, 1951.

Appeal from the City Court of the City of New York, County of Queens, WIENER, J.

Harry Katz for appellants.

Theodore O. Zoob for respondent.


The complaint sets forth a good cause of action to recover gifts, or their value, alleged to have been made conditionally by plaintiffs to defendant in contemplation of her marriage to plaintiffs' son. Such an action is not barred by article 2-A of the Civil Practice Act. It was therefore error to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint for legal insufficiency.

The order should be unanimously reversed upon the law, with $10 costs and taxable disbursements to plaintiffs, and motion to dismiss the complaint denied, with $10 costs.

FENNELLY, HOOLEY and WALSH, JJ., concur.

Order reversed, etc.
