affirmance of judgment

affirmance of judgment
A determination that the action or proceeding under review is free from prejudicial error and that the judgment appealed from shall stand. 5 Am J2d A & E § 934. The dismissal of an appeal for want of prosecution is clearly not an affirmance of the judgment. Drummond v Husson, 14 NY 60, 61. Affirmance implies a consideration on the merits, while a dismissal may be very summary. 5 Am J2d A & E § 905
