A former Dezer Development LLC executive who is suing the big-name developer and its namesake owners for alleged nonpayment got the green light to take a second whack at a breach-of-guarantee count.

Andrew Chesnick, who joined Dezer Development as chief operating officer under a five-year contract in January 2013, argues that he agreed to a below-market annual salary of $250,000 in exchange for 3% profit sharing in company projects on which he worked.
