New York Court of Appeals
Henry Bohlen, Appellant v. the Metropolitan Elevated Railway Company, Respondents
June 17, 1890121 N.Y. 546
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that a trial court may amend its findings of fact to correct an inadvertent ambiguity, even after judgment, provided the amendment does not affect the substantial rights of the adverse party. The Court reversed the General Term's order that had invalidated such an amendment and affirmed the Special Term's order.
