Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Co. v. Hoffman

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 14, 1991
177 A.D.2d 368 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

November 14, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Burton S. Sherman, J.).


The IAS court properly granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. Defendants do not deny that they executed the note sued upon and made a payment toward principal, nor that the note is in default and remains unpaid. The alleged defenses claimed to arise out of a partnership agreement executed by and between defendants, are unavailing as against plaintiff (Citibank v Furlong, 81 A.D.2d 803). Defendants fail to attribute any specific misrepresentation or act of fraudulent inducement to plaintiff's agent in connection with their execution of the note, and their claims of impairment of their right of recourse, to the extent preserved for our review, are without merit, as such rights were not made part of the loan transaction on which plaintiff brings suit. Under these circumstances, defendants' request for disclosure pursuant to CPLR 3212 (f) was properly denied (supra).
