Citation Numbers: 32 Misc. 223, 2 Liquor Tax Rep. 361, 66 N.Y.S. 252
Judges: Gorman
Filed Date: 7/15/1900
Status: Precedential
Modified Date: 11/12/2024
The liquor Tax Law makes distinct provision for the filing of the necessary consents before the issue of the certificate. No right is reserved to this court to order the filing of consents thereafter. The filing of papers nunc pro tunc is a practice peculiar to the conduct of judicial proceedings, but where a right to a certificate is dependent upon the applicant’s prior compliance with certain statutory requirements the court possesses no authority in a summary application of this character to relieve an applicant from the consequences of his neglect to observe those requirements. While the act provides for certain proceedings to vacate or cancel a certificate, and to review the action of an officer who'refuses to issue a license, the proceeding now before the court is of an entirely different character, and does not seem to be within the contemplation of the liquor Tax Law. Even if the power invoked does reside in the court, its exercise would not be proper under the circumstances disclosed.
Application denied.
