New York Court of Appeals

Daniel B. Hatch, Respondents v. the Central National Bank, Appellant

November 11, 187978 N.Y. 487

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that a trial court has discretion to vacate a satisfied judgment and allow amendment of the complaint to add new causes of action, even though such amendment avoids the statute of limitations, and that an order granting that relief is not subject to appellate review. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed.
