68 N.Y.S. 1082 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1901
There are 18 causes of action set forth in the complaint herein, each of which contains appropriate allegations to charge the defendant with liability for false representations con-
It is urged, as a second ground of demurrer, that causes of action are improperly joined; that each of the injured parties has a separate and independent cause of action, and the wrong done one is not related to that done the others. But the causes of action set up in the complaint were transferred by assignment to the plaintiffs. There is no doubt that such causes of action are assignable (section 1910 of the Code of Civil Procedure), and, thus vesting in the plaintiffs, they may be joined in one action; for two or more causes of action for injuries to personal property may be joined, as provided in section 484 of the Code of Civil Procedure. An injury to property is an actionable
The interlocutory judgment overruling the demurrer is affirmed, with costs, with leave to the defendant to withdraw the demurrer and answer within 20 days, on the payment of costs in this court and in the court below. All concur.
