Mortgagee Affiliates Corp. v. Jerder Realty Services, Inc.
| Citation | 391 N.E.2d 1011,417 N.Y.S.2d 930,47 N.Y.2d 796 |
| Parties | , 391 N.E.2d 1011 MORTGAGEE AFFILIATES CORP. et al., Appellants, v. JERDER REALTY SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants, and Murray Marcovitz, Respondent. |
| Decision Date | 10 May 1979 |
| Court | New York Court of Appeals |
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, for the reasons stated by Mr. Justice Vincent D. Damiani in his opinion at the Appellate Division insofar as it relates to the defendant Murray Marcovitz. We would note, however, that when, as here, the statute (Real Property Acons and Proceedings Law, § 1371) and the show cause order expressly provide that the defendant be served within a specified time, unsuccessful attempts to locate the defendant in order to serve him within that period cannot be said to satisfy the requirements of the statute or the court's order, even if the defendant had actual knowledge of the order or the plaintiff's alleged attempt to serve it.
Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
