Check Treatment

In an action to recover damages fi>r defendant’s alleged wrongful dissolution of his partnership with the plaintiff; the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated October 18, 1962, which denied his motion for judgment on the pleadings, dismissing the complaint (Rules Civ. Prac., rule 112). (See 36 Mise 2d 966 for opinion of the court.) Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements; motion for judgment on the pleadings granted; and complaint dismissed. The unambiguous language of the partnership agreement provides for the continuing performance by the parties so long as the agreement shall be in effect. However, the agreement contains no provision for its duration. Under: such circumstances, the agreement created a partnership at will which might be¡ dissolved at any time by the express will of either partner without violation of the agreement (Partnership Law, § 62, subd. 1, par. [b]). Ughetta, Acting R. J., Christ, Brennan, Hill and Rabin, JJ., concur.
