Liberty Bank of Buffalo v. Lansing

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 21, 1940
259 App. Div. 797 (N.Y. App. Div. 1940)

Opinion

March 21, 1940.

Present — Crosby, P.J., Taylor, Dowling, Harris and McCurn, JJ.


Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. Memorandum: In demanding both equitable and legal relief in his answer, the defendant Wallace has placed himself in the same position, so far as the right to a jury trial is concerned, as if he had demanded such relief on the same set of facts in a complaint. By his prayer for both types of remedies, he has waived his right to a jury trial on the issues raised by the answer and the reply. (Civ. Prac. Act, §§ 424, 425; DiMenna v. Cooper Evans Co., 220 N.Y. 391, 396.) All concur. (The order denies a motion by defendant Wallace for a jury trial of issues of fact in an action to foreclose a mortgage.)
