260 Prestige Brownstone 260 Corp. v 260 Clifton Pl, Inc.
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 05923
Holding The Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s complaint because the documentary evidence did not utterly refute the plaintiff’s claim to a 50% interest in the property. The court found that the chain of title did not conclusively establish the defendant’s grantor had authority to convey a 100% interest, nor did a broker agreement establish equitable estoppel.
