    Liberal View Allowing Action Anew Barred by Statute of Limitations

    By Bruce J. Bergman | October 15, 2019

    In his Foreclosure Litigation column, Bruce Bergman discusses a "savings provision" contained in CPLR §205 which has received a helpful liberal interpretation by the Court of Appeals which permits a dismissed action to be initiated anew even though the statute of limitations had otherwise expired. This has the potential to avoid the anomaly of a defaulting borrower otherwise entitled to retain mortgage proceeds with no remedy for the lender.

    Business Divorce in New York State: The Pitfalls of Relying on Judicial Dissolution Under LLCL §702

    By Maryann C. Stallone, David D. Holahan and Amanda M. Leone | October 15, 2019

    While the malleability of the LLC is attractive to sole proprietors and companies alike, members should not blindly rely on New York's Limited Liability Company Law (LLCL) to govern the activities of the LLC, resolve all conflicts within the LLC or to compensate for a poorly drafted or non-existent operating agreement.

    When Equitable Distribution Means a 90/10 Split

    By Peter E. Bronstein | October 11, 2019

    This article analyzes the decision in 'Cotton v. Roedelbronn', in which the First Department unanimously affirmed a distributive award to the wife of 10 percent of the largest marital asset: a business interest that was actively managed by the husband. The case underscores the role of contribution in the equitable distribution of business assets and establishes a new factor for courts to weigh, namely the participation of the non-titled spouse in a "restrained lifestyle."

    Significant Liability May Await Those Who File SLAPP Suits

    By Edward M. Spiro and Christopher B. Harwood | October 11, 2019

    In recent years, numerous states have enacted laws to deter so-called "SLAPP" suits—i.e., strategic lawsuits against public participation. Although New York has enacted an anti-SLAPP law, its protections are weak as compared to the anti-SLAPP laws in other states. In their Southern District Civil Practice Roundup, Edward M. Spiro and Christopher B. Harwood discuss 'National Jewish Democratic Council v. Adelson', in which Judge Oetken recently addressed—and rejected—several challenges to one of those expansive anti-SLAPP statutes, the Nevada statute.

    By Daniel B. Goldman and Steven S. Sparling | October 10, 2019

    The past year and a half witnessed important antitrust law developments for cases involving "two-sided" transaction markets, i.e., markets in which a sale on one side cannot be made without also making a sale on the other side of the market.
