106 N.Y.S. 137 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1907
This appeal involves a question of costs in a partition suit. The case was tried before the late Justice Wilmot M. Smith, who made
Section 1022 of the Code of Civil Procedure ¡provides: “ In an action where the costs are in the discretion of the court the decision or report must award or deny costs, and if it awards costs it must designate the party to whom the costs to he taxed are awarded.”
The only interlocutory judgment that could be entered was the one directed by the decision. While the court would have power to correct an error in the entry of judgment it eonld not change the decision or authorize the entry of a judgment differing from the one directed by the decision.
For these reasons the order must- be reversed and the. motion denied. ‘
Hirschberg, P. J., Hooker, Gaynor and Rich, JJ., concurred.
Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with costs.
