Martens v. Martens

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

262 App. Div. 702 (N.Y. App. Div. 1941)

Opinion

May 2, 1941.

Appeal from Supreme Court, New York County.

Present — Martin, P.J., O'Malley, Townley, Dore and Callahan, JJ.


We do not here find such unusual circumstances as would take the case out of the general rule that counsel fee and allowance for disbursements should only be granted for prospective and not past services.

It follows, therefore, that the order appealed from should be reversed and the motion denied, without costs.


Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and motion denied.
