164 N.Y. 399 | NY | 1900
The jury having rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on the trial of this action, defendant's counsel moved the court upon its minutes for a new trial on the grounds specified in section 999 of the Code, which motion was denied and an order to that effect entered. Subsequently judgment was entered, from which the defendant appealed to the Appellate Division, stating in the notice of appeal his intention "to bring up for review before this court the order denying appellant's motion for a new trial." The plaintiff moved that court to strike from the notice of appeal the statement therein of defendant's intention to bring up for review the order denying the motion for a new trial, and the court granted the motion, holding that the order was not intermediate within the meaning of section 1316 of the Code. In thus holding the court erred. (Fox v. Matthiessen,

This practice is sanctioned by Matter of De Camp (
The order should be reversed, with costs, and the record remitted to the Appellate Division.
