Decision Date | 01 April 2004 |
Docket Number | 3306N. |
Citation | 6 A.D.3d 151,2004 NY Slip Op 02468,773 N.Y.S.2d 564 |
Parties | HELENE-HARRISSON CORPORATION, Respondent, v. MONEYLINE NETWORKS, INC., Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Plaintiff landlord demands rent and other damages for the alleged breach of the parties' lease agreement. The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant tenant's belated motion to amend its answer to assert a defense that plaintiff had unreasonably withheld its consent to subletting the premises. Although permission to amend should ordinarily be freely granted (CPLR 3025 [b]), the movant must make some evidentiary showing that the proposed amendment has arguable merit (Morgan v Prospect Park Assoc. Holdings, 251 AD2d 306 [1998]). The record herein is devoid of evidence that defendant ever expressed interest in subletting the premises, let alone sought plaintiff's permission to do so.
