11 A.D.3d 258 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

4251

October 12, 2004.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Stanley Green, J.), entered July 8, 2003, which denied plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Nardelli, Andrias, Saxe and Lerner, JJ.


Plaintiffs defaulted when they failed to notify defendant as to their ability to obtain a mortgage by the deadline and proceed to closing. In light of that breach of contract, they were not entitled to recover their down payment ( see Maxton Bldrs. v. Lo Galbo, 68 NY2d 373).

We have considered plaintiffs' remaining contentions and find them without merit.
