Russo v. Guardsman Lease Plan, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 1, 1981
82 A.D.2d 801 (N.Y. App. Div. 1981)

Opinion

June 1, 1981


In an action to rescind a contract of sale, defendant appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Geiler, J.), entered July 28, 1980, which was in favor of plaintiffs after a nonjury trial. Judgment affirmed, with costs. The merits of plaintiffs' action for rescission of a contract of sale involving an automobile on the ground of fraud were not governed by the requirements of section 2-608 of the Uniform Commercial Code (see Uniform Commercial Code, § 1-103). With respect to damages, it was not incumbent upon plaintiffs to establish actual pecuniary loss (see Dress Shirt Sales v Hotel Martinique Assoc., 12 N.Y.2d 339; Gross v State Cooperage Export Crating Shipping Co., 32 A.D.2d 540). We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Hopkins, J.P., Mangano, Gulotta and Margett, JJ., concur.
