New York Court of Appeals

Lillie S. Taylor, Respondent v. Granite State Provident Association, Appellants

January 17, 1893136 N.Y. 343

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that service of process on an attorney does not satisfy New York Civ. Proc. § 432's requirement of service on a managing agent, cashier, or director, so no jurisdiction was obtained and the judgment was vacated; it also held that the order denying the motion for resettlement is a discretionary matter not subject to appellate review and dismissed that portion of the appeal.
