1100 Inc. v. 4441 Broadway Realty Corp.
Decision Date | 23 March 2004 |
Docket Number | 3214. |
Citation | 5 A.D.3d 284,2004 NY Slip Op 02142,774 N.Y.S.2d 685 |
Parties | 1100 INC., Respondent, v. 4441 BROADWAY REALTY CORP. et al., Appellants, and JUAN CALDELAS et al., Respondents. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Plaintiff brought this action for breach of a contract to purchase a building from the corporate defendants. It then sought to amend the complaint to assert a claim against the additional individual defendants for fraud in signing the contract purportedly on behalf of the corporation. The corporate defendants cross-moved for, inter alia, summary judgment on the ground that the contract of sale was never signed by necessary parties on behalf of the seller. Denial of summary judgment was based on the issue of whether the contract had in fact been signed by necessary parties, and whether the three individual defendants who did sign were committing fraud by misrepresenting their authority to do so, or whether they were simply following corporate procedure with respect to the sale. The affidavits of the principals of the corporate litigants present issues of credibility which cannot be resolved on a motion for summary disposition (Cochrane v Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp., 219 AD2d 557, 559-560 [1995]).
