  1. Matter of Mortgage Corporation of N.Y

    263 App. Div. 627 (N.Y. App. Div. 1942)   Cited 3 times

    Considering the objects of the moratorium laws as a whole, it appears that these statutes were not intended to relieve the mortgagor of the obligation to pay the mortgage debt. They merely suspended certain remedies, but did not attempt to impair contractual rights. ( Royal Court Realty Co., Inc., v. Thomas, 259 App. Div. 313.) The public emergency declared by the Legislature (See Laws of 1933, chap. 793) as a reason for passing the moratorium statutes, was the abnormal disruption of economic and financial conditions, and the abnormal deflation of real property values.
