Community Energy Alternatives Inc. v. Peatco II

243 A.D.2d 371 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

October 28, 1997

Appeal from Supreme Court, New York County (Lewis Friedman, J.).


The IAS Court correctly perceived that this Court's prior order ( 228 A.D.2d 309) had rejected, as nonmeritorious, the only basis for a fraud cause of action that had not been explicitly rejected by the IAS Court, namely, plaintiffs' unpled allegations of misrepresentations as to the identity of the manufacturer of the ancillary equipment that was to be used in the power plant project in which plaintiffs had invested, and properly denied plaintiffs' motion to amend the complaint to add such a cause of action as precluded by law of the case. Rejection of this unpled, but proposed, cause of action left no conceivable claim remaining as against defendant Donaldson Lufkin, warranting the award of summary judgment in its favor. We have considered plaintiffs' other arguments and find them to be without merit.
