Headnote
Appeal—Preparing Case—Useless Repetition.In preparing a case on appeal, the title of the action should be written or printed but once, and such matters as verifications should be merely noted, unless the appeal involves some point concerning them.
Action by Emely Sickles against Abram H. Eling. Motion to settle the case for appeal to the appellate division.
Proposed amendments disallowed.
Ferdinand E. M. Bullowa, for plaintiff.
Charles E. Thorn, for defendant.
In preparing a proposed case on appeal the title to the action should be written and printed only once, and then all papers and proceedings should follow thereunder, and under proper subheadings. It is very useless, and indeed quite absurd, to keep on repeating the title. A large part of bulky appeal books consists of repetitions of the title of the action. And there are many other things which can be omitted, such as verifications, and the like, merely noting their existence or substance, unless, of course, the appeal involves some point concerning them. The numerous proposed amendments herein to repeat the title of the action at the head of each paper and so on. must be disallowed.
Amendments disallowed.
