Board of Education v. Bimco Industries, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 7, 1981
85 A.D.2d 588 (N.Y. App. Div. 1981)

Opinion

December 7, 1981


In an action to permanently enjoin defendants from discontinuing or interrupting certain school bus transportation services provided for in a contract between plaintiff and defendant Bimco Industries, Inc., defendants appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Cobb, J.), entered September 17, 1980, which, after a nonjury trial, granted injunctive relief against defendants. Judgment affirmed, with costs. On the record before us, there is no indication of unfair dealings on the part of the plaintiff board in its relations with defendants. Inherent in the requirement that the board act to promote the best interests of the district is the right and "legal duty to modify its bid specifications as required by the public interests" (see Varsity Tr. v Saporita, 71 A.D.2d 643, affd 48 N.Y.2d 767; see, also, Abco Bus Co. v Macchiarola, 75 A.D.2d 831, revd 52 N.Y.2d 938, mot for rearg den 53 N.Y.2d 797). Lazer, J.P., Rabin, Cohalan and Margett, JJ., concur.
