Opinion
November 19, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Burrows, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Assuming the factual allegations of the complaint to be true for the purposes of this motion (see, 219 Broadway Corp. v. Alexander's, Inc., 46 N.Y.2d 506; Kushner v. King, 126 A.D.2d 466), and being mindful of the liberal construction to be afforded pleadings (see, CPLR 3026), we conclude that the Supreme Court acted properly in denying the motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action (see, Maison Lazard Et Compagnie v. Manfra, Tordella Brooks, 585 F. Supp. 1286; Electrolux Corp. v. Val-Worth, Inc., 6 N.Y.2d 556; Metropolitan Opera Assn. v. Wagner-Nichols Recorder Corp., 199 Misc. 786, affd. 279 App. Div. 632).
We have considered the appellant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Harwood, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
