Citation | 607 N.Y.S.2d 261,201 A.D.2d 262 |
Parties | Jacqueline ANDRES, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. LeROY ADVENTURES, INC., etc., Defendant-Respondent. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Before ROSENBERGER, J.P., and ELLERIN, ASCH, NARDELLI and WILLIAMS, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Huff, J.), entered June 17, 1993, which, insofar as appealed from, granted defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' causes of action for negligent misrepresentation and fraud, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The cause of action for negligent misrepresentation was properly dismissed on the ground that a "special relationship" giving rise to a duty to impart correct information could not be discerned from the arm's length dealings between the parties alleged in the complaint (see, Delcor Laboratories, Inc. v.

Harrow Stores, Inc., 140 A.D.2d 501, 505, 528 N.Y.S.2d 404). As for the cause of action for fraud, while it may allege the partial, and therefore misleading, disclosure of an existing fact (see, Stambovsky v. Ackley, 169 A.D.2d 254, 257-258, 572 N.Y.S.2d 672), rather than mere nonactionable expressions as to future conduct as defendant maintains, this...
