Opinion
Irving Garfinkel, Respondent, v. Irving Cooper, Doing Business as Cooper Woodcraft Co., Appellant, et al., Defendants.
[MAJORITY]
Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, unless plaintiff stipulates to consent to reduction of verdict to the sum of $6,000 in which event the judgment, as so modified, is affirmed, without costs. On this record the amount awarded is excessive. Settle order on notice. Concur — Cohn, J. P., Callahan, Breitel, Botein and Rabin, JJ.
