Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that Judiciary Law § 299, which requires stenographers to furnish transcripts to judges free of charge, remains valid and was not impliedly repealed by amendments to § 302. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for entry of a declaratory judgment affirming the statutes and the directives issued by the defendants.
