Bank of India v. Sanghvi

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 27, 1996
224 A.D.2d 347 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 27, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (James O'Donoghue, J.).


The IAS Court properly granted summary judgment since plaintiff established a prima facie case for foreclosure of the 1988 mortgage and defendants failed to raise viable defenses or triable issues of material fact ( see, East N.Y. Sav. Bank v. 924 Columbus Assocs., 216 A.D.2d 118). The unconditional guarantee specifically provided that the guarantors waived all defenses and counterclaims ( cf., Goodridge v. Fernandez, 121 A.D.2d 942, 945). None of the purported inequities related to the mortgage being foreclosed. Defendants had no standing to assert counterclaims arising from the 1990 commitment letter between plaintiff and Maharaja Travel, Inc.

As defendants' counsel was given a copy of the Referee's report and raised no objection, no hearing was required. We have considered defendants-appellants' remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
