Winsey v. Spitzer Motor Sales, Inc.

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department
Apr 24, 1958
12 Misc. 2d 56 (N.Y. App. Term 1958)

Opinion

April 24, 1958

Appeal from the Municipal Court of the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, PELHAM ST. GEORGE BISSELL, 3d, J.

Arthur Kaplan and Joseph N. Friedman for appellant.

Paul F. Starace for respondent.


Since the written sales contract contained an effective disclaimer of warranties and there was no claim of fraud in inducing the sale, a recovery based on the breach of an express oral warranty cannot be sustained. ( Broderick Haulage v. Mack-International Motor Truck Corp., 1 A.D.2d 649; cf. Angerosa v. White Co., 248 App. Div. 425, affd. 275 N.Y. 524. )

The record does not show whether the defendant complied with the provisions of section 64 Veh. Traf. of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (as amd. July 1, 1954) nor was the question of the effect of noncompliance litigated on the trial. A new trial should be had at which these issues may be explored.

The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered, with $30 costs to appellant to abide the event.

STEUER, J.P., HOFSTADTER and HECHT, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
