Marine Midland Bank v. Sprecher

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 22, 1991
169 A.D.2d 544 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

January 22, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Fingerhood, J.).


The counsel fees awarded were fully justified by evidence submitted at the assessment hearing, where defendant had sufficient opportunity to cross-examine plaintiff's witness and challenge the computation. The fact that the fee was high in relation to the underlying judgment was a result of defendant's own extensive legal maneuverings, in what should concededly have been a simple matter.
