Fairview Block v. Peoples Tr. Co of New Jersey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 2, 1979
69 A.D.2d 806 (N.Y. App. Div. 1979)

Opinion

April 2, 1979


In an action pursuant to article 3-A of the Lien Law based upon the alleged diversion of trust funds, defendant Peoples Trust Company of New Jersey, a bank not authorized to do business in this State, appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, entered June 3, 1976, which denied its motion to dismiss the complaint, as against it, for lack of jurisdiction. By order entered February 28, 1977, this court remanded the action to Honorable Abraham J. Multer, a former Justice of the Supreme Court, as Referee, to hear and report on the issue of jurisdiction, the appeal being held in abeyance in the interim (Fairview Block Co. v. Peoples Trust Co. of N.J., 56 A.D.2d 643). The Referee has compiled and rendered his report. Order affirmed, with $50 costs and disbursements. The evidence elicited at the hearing conclusively established that the defendant had engaged in purposeful, continuous, substantial and profitable activity in this State within the meaning of CPLR 302 (subd [a]). Thus, the minimum contacts constitutionally required to bring the defendant within the purview of the statute have been established. Mollen, P.J., Titone, O'Connor and Shapiro, JJ., concur.
