226 A.D. 757 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1929
Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. Examination to proceed on five days’ notice at same place and hour. Plaintiff seeks to examine the defendant, a municipal corporation, by taking the testimony of one of its employees which is material and necessary to his case. The defendant in its answer denies knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the allegations contained in the plaintiff’s complaint setting forth an essential element of the plaintiff’s cause of action. In the absence of further showing, this negatives the plaintiff’s ability to procure the required information under the charter (§ 1545)
