Mosehauer v. Jenkins

112 N.Y.S. 1038 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1908

HOOKER, J.

The case was tried in the Municipal Court on February 21, 1908, and decision reserved, but judgment was not rendered until March 23, 1908,.more than 14 days. Municipal Court Act *1039(Laws 1902, p. 1557, c. 580) § 230. There was no stipulation to extend the time for rendering judgment. Such are the circumstances as they appear in the return of the justice, which is controlling upon us. Stern v. Fleck, 102 App. Div. 272, 92 N. Y. Supp. 453. The case is deemed submitted and the 14 days commence to run on the day of the trial, when it- is announced by the justice at its conclusion. “Decision reserved.” City Button Works v. Cohn, 52 Misc. Rep. 112, 101 N. Y. Supp. 765.

The justice, therefore, had lost jurisdiction to render judgment, which must be reversed and a new trial ordered, costs to abide the event. All concur.
