Klein v. Klein

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Feb 1, 1991
170 A.D.2d 1047 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

February 1, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County, Di Noto, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Denman, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ. (Order entered Jan. 22, 1991.)


Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion granted. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred in denying plaintiff's motion against defendant Maryann Klein for summary judgment in lieu of complaint under CPLR 3213. Plaintiff established that defendant executed a promissory note which obligated her to pay plaintiff $60,000, without interest, upon demand. Plaintiff duly demanded payment and defendant failed to pay. Parol evidence is not admissible to vary or contradict the clear terms of a note (Bankers Trust Co. v Stahl, 145 A.D.2d 311, 313, appeal dismissed 73 N.Y.2d 872). Thus, plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment (see, Kornfeld v NRX Technologies, 93 A.D.2d 772, affd 62 N.Y.2d 686; Badische Bank v Ronel Sys., 36 A.D.2d 763).
