Summary
In Sciaky, which appears to have involved a situation similar to that in Weprin, we allowed interest from the time of damage, but solely on the authority of the Weprin case.
Summary of this case from Purcell v. Long Is. Daily Press Pub. Co.Opinion
Submitted March 8, 1938

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
Murray L. Halpern, Paul Englander, I. Vernon Werbin and Bennett E. Siegelstein for appellant.
Harry Merwin and John F. Collins for respondent.
We are of opinion that interest on the verdict should be added from the time the damage accrued. (See Weprin Glass Building Corp. v. Rosoff Subway Constr. Co., 269 N.Y. 672.)
The judgment of the Appellate Division should be reversed and that of the Trial Term affirmed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Division.
