246 A.D. 573 Court N.Y. App. Div. English

Majority

p. 573
Wilma E. Gould, Respondent, v. Norman J. Gould and Others, Appellants.

Action for damages due to conspiracy among defendants to terminate obligation of a separation agreement between plaintiff and Edward B. Gould and to obtain a divorce. The large sum allowed as damages in this case may be accounted for only by the fact that the jury was influenced by incompetent evidence admitted during the trial — particularly the testimony in the insanity proceeding against all the defendants. Judgment and order unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellants to abide the event. Present — Martin, P. J., Merrell, McAvoy, O’Malley and Glennon, JJ.
