Bongiorno v. Salomone

In an action to set aside the transfer of certain shares of stock, upon the ground that the transaction was induced by false representations, and for other relief, the appeal is from an order granting respondents’ motion to vacate an inquest taken by appellant and to open their default on the trial. Order modified by striking from the ordering paragraph everything following the word “granted” and by substituting therefor the words and figures: “on condition that defendants pay plaintiff $100 and be ready for trial on December 8, 1958, for which day the case is ordered to be placed on the Calendar of Special Term, Part III, subject to the approval of the Justice Presiding; otherwise, motion denied, with $10 costs to plaintiff.” As so modified, order affirmed, without costs. Within 10 days after the entry of the order hereon respondents must make the payment to appellant and serve a copy of said order on the clerk of Special Term, Part III, of the Supreme Court, Kings County. In our opinion, terms should have been imposed as a condition to the opening of respondents’ default. (Cf. Baldwin v. Yellow Taxi Corp., 221 App. Div. 717.) Nolan, P. J., Wenzel, Beldock, Murphy and Ughetta, JJ., concur.
