New York Court of Appeals

Olive E. Platner, Appellant v. George Platner, Respondents

September 16, 187978 N.Y. 90

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting testimony concerning the plaintiff's husband's authority, statements, and related transactions. The evidence was deemed relevant and admissible, and the trial court's discretion in evidentiary rulings was reviewed for abuse of discretion. Objections based on relevance, hearsay, and procedural code section 399 were found untenable.
