MICHEL v. CITY OF TROY

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
Jan 17, 1952

Reargument is allowed and the order of reversal is vacated. Both sides of the question raised by this appeal are now for the first time adequately presented to us. The failure to serve the pleading over a long period is attributed by counsel to his own inadvertence. It is not attributable in any degree to the administratrix. It is the policy of the court to relieve a party for inadvertence of counsel unless prejudice to the other side is shown. The appellants show no such prejudice. Order unanimously affirmed, without costs.
