Costello-Palmer Corp. v. Consolidated Factors Corp. , 213 N.Y.S.2d 945 ( 1961 )

In an action for an accounting of moneys collected by defendant on accounts receivable assigned as security for repayment of advances, the plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated August 19, 19-60, as grants defendant’s motion to direct amendment of the complaint so as to make it more definite and certain by pleading the particulars of the assigned accounts. Order insofar as appealed from reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the defendant’s motion, insofar as it seeks to direct amendment of the complaint for the purpose above stated, denied. The allegations of the complaint are sufficient to spell out a fiduciary relationship and to state a cause of action for an accounting (cf. Zeltser v. Mark, 7 A D 2d 851). It is not necessary that the complaint contain a list of the accounts assigned. If defendant is entitled to such a list, it may be supplied in a bill of particulars. No consideration is given to the references to an order of resettlement which is neither printed in the record nor mentioned in the notice of appeal; nor is any consideration given to the notice of appeal appended to defendant’s brief. Ughetta, Acting P. J., Kleinfeld, Christ, Pette and Brennan, JJ., concur.
