Packard v. Wood

Clerk, J.

The justice at the special term based his decision on the ground that one party in an action cannot compel another person to become his adversary in the action under the Code of Procedure; and that section 121 of the Code does not warrant compulsion of this kind. Neither does the section relating to amendments warrant it. Whether the court has the inherent power to make such an order was not discussed below. The judge did not deem this a proper case, it is to be presumed, for entertaining the question. I concur with Judge Leonard in thinking that the order should be affirmed.

Order affirmed.
