Searle Blatt Co. v. Zurich Holding Co.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 26, 2001
282 A.D.2d 388 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

April 26, 2001.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.), entered April 18, 2000, which denied plaintiff's motion for a Yellowstone injunction, unanimously reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion granted, and judgment granted in favor of plaintiff declaring that it has no obligation to obtain any further insurance and defendants may not interfere with plaintiff's right to use and occupancy of the leased premises.

John W. Dunne, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Barry J. Yellen, for Defendants-Respondents.

Before: Andrias, J.P., Lerner, Saxe, Buckley, Friedman, JJ.


The IAS court improperly denied plaintiff's motion since defendant Zurich Holding Co., LLC never tendered any evidence establishing that it was the successor-in-interest to Zurich Holding Co., the landlord on the lease. Thus, the default notices are deemed defective (see, Siegel v. Kentucky Fried Chicken of Long Island, Inc., 108 A.D.2d 218, affd 67 N.Y.2d 792).

Moreover, defendants waived any objections they might have had to the adequacy of the insurance coverage by waiting four or five years after receipt of the insurance certificates and completion of the renovations to voice their objections (see, Restoration Realty v. Robero, 87 A.D.2d 301, affd 58 N.Y.2d 1089).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
