Rosenfeld v. Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

159 A.D.2d 398 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 27, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Charles E. Ramos, J.).


Summary judgment is only available in situations where no material and triable issue of fact is presented. (Sillman v Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp., 3 N.Y.2d 395, 404.) Here, the deposition testimony raises sufficient questions of fact so that denial of plaintiffs' motion is mandated.

Plaintiff Rosenfeld's own testimony shows that the cotrustee had been informed of and approved the securities accounts. Moreover, it appears that repeated requests by defendants for the trust documents were either ignored or refused.

We have reviewed the remainder of appellants' contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Asch and Smith, JJ.
