95 N.Y.S. 729 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1905
Joseph Kaufman and Leopold Oppenheimer recovered a judgment against the appellants on February 12. 1885, which judgment was duly docketed in the county clerk’s office of New York county on the same day. On July 19, 1899, the judgment debtors were duly discharged in bankruptcy, and upon such discharge they move to cancel the judgment.
In the schedules filed in the bankruptcy proceedings the judgment creditor is referred to as “Joseph Kaufman, Bond St., N. Y. City,” and the notices required by the Bankruptcy Law
I think that the name of the surviving partner, who was the creditor, was correctly scheduled, and the evidence shows that he had actual knowledge of the proceedings in bankruptcy, and made no opposition to the discharge. ' If Oppenheimer had been alive at the time that the bankruptcy proceedings were instituted, it is quite probable that his right would not have been cut'ofi by the discharge, as he was not named as the creditor, but as he had died before the bankruptcy proceedings were commenced and the debt had -vested in the surviving partner, I 'think it was sufficient to schedule the' name of the surviving partner as the creditor, and the surviving partner having had actual notice of the pendency of the banikruptey proceedings, the debt was discharged under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law, to which attention has been called.
I think the order appealed from should be reversed, with ten ‘ dollars costs and disbursements, and the' motion granted.
