Viles v. Woermann

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 22, 1948
274 App. Div. 788 (N.Y. App. Div. 1948)

Opinion

June 22, 1948.

Present — Peck, P.J., Glennon, Dore, Van Voorhis and Shientag, JJ.; Shientag, J., dissents and votes to affirm. Settle order on notice.


Satisfactory evidence of a postmature birth is lacking in this case and the complainant has thus failed to make a sufficiently convincing showing to sustain the order of filiation. There should be a new trial, with the opportunity to adduce medical evidence. The appeal does not raise the question of the admissibility of the hospital records under section 412 of the Civil Practice Act, so we do not pass upon the admissibility of such records. Evidence relating to the confinement and birth may be obtained by deposition, if not produced at the trial. Order reversed and a new trial ordered, without costs.
