Over the last six months, I have been contributing monthly case summaries of recent court decisions to the Co-op & Condo Case Law Tracker Digest. These case summaries impact not only cooperative and condominium law, but also have wide-ranging impact and provide helpful analysis on issues under the New York Business Corporation Law, Commercial Lease disputes, the Martin Act, HSTPA, and under the CPLR. It is important that sponsors, building owners, boards, shareholders, and tenants are aware of the outcomes of recent cases, as they could adversely impact and guide conduct if and when similar issues arise. We are available to help you navigate these and other recent case law developments that might affect your organization.
My case summaries cover recent court decisions relating to the following topics:
- Shareholder’s Claims Survived Motion to Dismiss, But Were Ultimately Barred by Res Judicata
