New York Court of Appeals
Amasa Worthington, Appellant v. the London Guarantee and Accident Company, Respondent
October 2, 1900164 N.Y. 81
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the Municipal Court of the City of New York is a continuation of the old District Courts, not a new inferior local court, and therefore has constitutional jurisdiction over a foreign corporation with an office in the city; the appellate courts' rulings were reversed and the case remanded for a merits hearing.
