261 A.D.2d 587 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

688 N.Y.S.2d 921

Opinion

May 24, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kohn, J.).

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

The appellant is barred by the doctrine of unclean hands from seeking the equitable remedy of recovering money obtained through unjust enrichment ( see, Nicolaides v. Nicolaides, 173 A.D.2d 448, 451; Cohn Berk v. Rothman-Goodman Mgt. Corp., 125 A.D.2d 435).

The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.

Mangano, P. J., Santucci, Krausman, Florio and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
