Martinez v. American Export Industries, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 17, 1975
48 A.D.2d 803 (N.Y. App. Div. 1975)

Opinion

June 17, 1975


Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered on January 22, 1975, insofar as it granted plaintiff's motion to declare this a class action, unanimously reversed, on the law, and motion denied, without costs and without disbursements. Where, as here, a choice of remedies is available to each member of an alleged class, class action status should be denied. (Gaynor v Rockefeller, 15 N.Y.2d 120, 129.) Permitting a class action in this instance would deprive the other debenture holders of their choice of remedies. (Onofrio v Playboy Club of N.Y., 15 N.Y.2d 740. )

Concur — Markewich, J.P., Kupferman, Murphy, Capozzoli and Lynch, JJ.
