195 A.D.2d 535 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

July 19, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Nastasi, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that the evidence of the parties' course of dealings, as set forth in the defendant's papers in opposition to the motion, raises a triable issue of fact regarding the existence of an account stated. In view of the defendant's claim that the account has been the subject of repeated and long-standing oral disputes and that payments have only been made for those charges which the plaintiff has documented and verified, the denial of summary judgment was proper (see generally, Scheichet Davis v. Steinger, 183 A.D.2d 479; Ronny-Gerard, Inc. v. Zimmerman, 150 A.D.2d 438; Harold R. Clune, Inc. v. Healthco Med. Supply, 78 A.D.2d 914; James Talcott, Inc. v. United States Tel. Co., 52 A.D.2d 197). We find that the defendant's evidentiary submissions on the motion were adequately specific under the circumstances of this case and in relation to the degree of specificity employed in the plaintiff's letter and invoice dated September 4, 1990. Sullivan, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Ritter, JJ., concur.
