Fricano v. Georgeades

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Feb 3, 1989
147 A.D.2d 940 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

February 3, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, McGowan, J.

Present — Doerr, J.P., Boomer, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion denied. Memorandum: Preliminary injunctive relief is a drastic remedy and will not be granted "unless a clear right thereto is established under the law and the undisputed facts upon the moving papers, and the burden of showing such an undisputed right rests upon the movant" (First Natl. Bank v Highland Hardwoods, 98 A.D.2d 924, 926).

The conclusory statements proffered by defendant in support of his application lack factual evidentiary detail and do not demonstrate that irreparable harm will result absent injunctive relief. Thus, Special Term abused its discretion in granting the injunction (see, A. John Merola, M.D., P.C. v Telonis, 127 A.D.2d 1007).
