Matter of Densmore v. Westall

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 8, 1952
280 App. Div. 939 (N.Y. App. Div. 1952)

Opinion

October 8, 1952.


Order reversed on the law, without costs, and petition dismissed, without costs. It is conceded that notice of the party caucus, at which it is alleged that one William J. Murray was nominated, was not given as required by the provisions of section 146 of the Election Law. In our opinion, the provisions of that section with respect to notice are mandatory and may not be disregarded, and the purported nomination is consequently void. Nolan, P.J., Johnston, Adel, Wenzel and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
