Opinion
July 21, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Newmark, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, with costs, that branch of the motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant Madeline French is denied, and the complaint is reinstated against her.
There is a question of fact as to whether the defendant Madeline French acquiesced in or ratified the two real estate brokerage agreements signed by her husband, the defendant John French (compare, Falk v. Krumm, 39 Misc.2d 448, affd 22 A.D.2d 911, with Hunt Real Estate Corp. v. Smallidge, 66 Misc.2d 730; cf., Blechner v. Pecoraro, 164 A.D.2d 878; Jill Real Estate v Smyles, 160 A.D.2d 640; Michaels v. Hartzell, 73 A.D.2d 1056; Farr v. Newman, 18 A.D.2d 64, affd 14 N.Y.2d 183).
